“Review of Annotated Bibliography” 9/16

An annotated bibliography is list of cited sources.  Each citation is followed by a summary of the sources.  The purpose of the summary is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.  Uses for an annotated bibliography include reviewing source and organizing sources.  Writers can use this to help form their thesis and their argument.  It can show the writer what sides an article takes and if it has the information they need.  Writing the summary of the source the writer needs to look at authority and background of the author of the source, which audience is being targeted by the source, comparsion of other sources, and whether or not the source helps the writer’s argument.  One of the benefits of having an annotated bibliography is helping the writer learn more about their topic.  It makes the writer look at their sources closely and carefully.  Perspective is gained on the topic and what the issues are being discussed.  Another benefit of an annotated bibliography is that it can help other researchers.  In my case, if I could possibly find an annotated bibliography about my topic, it could help me with my paper.
