Some of my classes have been asked to practice web research by searching for a topic of their choice, then narrowing down to five representative websites for an annotated list which includes an evaluation of the websites' content and usability as well as an evaluation of the usefulness of the material on the website.
After the annotated bibliography is completed, write an introductory paragraph to explain the context for the anno bib.
Use Craig Branham's website http://www.slu.edu/departments/english/research/ for help with searching and evaluating web resources. Oviatt Library also provides excellent assistance for "Evaluating Print and Internet Resources."
Please follow Janice Walker's Online Citation format, specifically sections dealing with web pages and web sites for the citation lines on your annotated bibliography as well as your Works Cited page.
TEMPORARY Workaround. While Walker's website at Colombia Press is broken, use this example. Sorry for the confusion.
Searching for and compiling resources on your subject choice will help you discover more about your topic and will help you organize the information in order to write the paper. You will not use all the resources from your anno bib. Most will use 2-3 sources, depending on the quality of your findings and the focus of your paper. You must include your annotated bibliography with your final paper.
