                An annotated bibliography allows the writer to “provide specific information about each source they have used,” (Annotated Bibliographies).  It allows the writer to point out some information that will catch the reader’s eye and show them what they might want to look at when reading the article.  By writing an annotated bibliography is will show the readers that as a writer you understood the research and what you were writer about.  An annotated bibliography will explain the main points of the paper.  It will provide the reader with “a point of view or prospective from which the work was written,” (Annotated Bibliographies). 

                There are five types of annotated bibliographies:

1. Summary Annotations:  They sum up the content of the paper.  “They give an overview of the arguments addressed and note the conclusion,” (Annotated Bibliographies).
2. Informative Annotation: Informative annotation summarizes “relevant” information.
3. Indicative Annotation: Gives general information. 
4. Critical/evaluative: Evaluates not only the source, but also the author.  It shows how the work may pertain to “particular field of study or audience,” (Annotated Bibliographies).
5. Combination: Combines all elements of the four types of annotated bibliographies.

 

Annotated bibliographies summarize what you have written in your paper.  They can help you with the introduction and literature reviews for your papers because they provide you with the necessary information that you are using from your research.  Someone can tell if the sources for their annotated bibliography is useful by evaluating them.  When researching a topic you always want to evaluate your sources to make sure they come from a reliable author.
