IV. COMPILING AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY *Try an online bibliography maker: www.easybib.com • A bibliography lists the sources used when writing a report. These include encyclopedias, textbooks, magazine or newspaper articles, reference books, interviews and Internet sites. • The purpose of a bibliography is to enable the people who are reading your report to check the facts, and to see if your conclusions are correct. • Each source in a bibliography includes a citation that includes the author’s name, title, and publication details of the source. • Each source in an annotated bibliography includes an additional annotation (a 1-2 sentence description) that comes after each citation. Sentence #1: What is the book/source about? #2: How did this source/book help you with your research? • The bibliography usually comes at the end of your report or essay. Here are some examples BOOK: SINGLE AUTHOR Citation (List in this order): The Author’s Last Name, First Name and Middle Initial. Title of Book. City: Publishing Company. Year Published. Annotation: Write 1-2 sentences summarizing the book, explaining how it helped you on your project. EXAMPLE Broker, Ignatia. Night Flying Woman. St. Paul, MN: Borealis Books, 1983. This book recounts the life of the author’s ancestor, “Night Flying Woman” who was born in the 1800’s during a time of great change for the Ojibwe people. This book helped me understand the impact of the Fur Trade on the Ojibwe people. !Citation Citation !Annotation BOOK: MULTIPLE AUTHORS List in this order: The authors’ last names alphabetically, the first author’s name is listed the same as a single author. The order of the second name starts with their first name and then last name. **Make sure to type “and” between the two names. The rest is the same as for one author. EXAMPLE Braun, Judy and Nancy Gilmore. Amazing Women in U.S. History. Chicago, IL: Bear Press, 1999. This book tells the overlooked stories of interesting women in U.S. history. I found a chapter on Alice Paul in this book that provided me with information for my project.
