What is an annotated bibliography?

Answer

An annotated bibliography is a bibliography of the sources that you are using for your research project that includes a summary or evaluation of each source.  Usually your summary or evaluation will be a short paragraph, but your instructor may give you more detailed guidelines.  You can create annotated bibliographies within Noodlebib, in either APA or MLA format.
