Annotated Bibliographies of Web Resources

Annotated bibliographies are lists of resources which have been summarized and evaluated for specific purposes, usually for research projects and/or research papers. Please review Purdue's Online Writing Lab for more information on annotated bibliographies.

CSUN and Moorpark students 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 annotated bibliography.

Use Oviatt Library's website "Using the CRAAP Test to Evaluate Sources" for help with searching and evaluating web resources.

Please follow Janice Walker's Online Citation format, specifically this example.

Annotated Bibliography for the Research Paper

Searching for and compiling resources will help you discover more about your topic and will help you organize the information in order to present your project and write your last paper. You will not use all the resources from your annotated bibliography. Most will use 2-3 sources, depending on the quality of your findings and the focus of your paper. Check the research paper assignment for parameters. You must include your annotated bibliography as part of the final research collection.

English 113-A and English MO2 will be assigned a specific research area for the assignment.

Grading: points are deducted for the following missing or incorrect work.
