Annotated Bibliography Instructions
The extra credit project is voluntary and is worth a maximum of 10 points.
For the extra credit project you will create an annotated bibliography (or "webliography
" if it
includes only web sites) citing and describing five of the best Internet resources on a specified
topic. You should use all of the search tools and evaluation criteria you have learned about in this
course.
NOTE: You do not have to write an actual
research paper.
The project is designed to use the
research skills you have learned in this class, and will help you in future classes where you will
be writing research papers.
Take a look at the sample project as a general guideline for
completing your project.
Submit the project to your instructor as a Word document attachment. INCLUDE YOUR
NAME, STUDENT ID, AND TOPIC. If you use Works, or another program other than
Microsoft Word, please save the file as RTF (rich text format) before sending.
If you ha
ve a
Google account you can use
Google D
rive
to create a document
and
download your file as .doc or
.pdf. You would then attach these to the assignment submission form. Yet another option is the
free
OpenOffice
which will allow you to make a Word compatible document.

Choose a topic of interest. Be careful not to choose a topic that is too broad or too
narrow. (Review Lesson 2, Research Strategies, for help on narr

topic.)

Include both the topic AND a thesis statement with your bibliography.

Find five different Internet resources that you think provide the most authoritative
information about your topic. Web pages are fine but you must use one a
rticle from an
electronic research database (such as Academic Search Complete). See Lesson 5 for log

in information.
•
Use the checklist (see attachment) to evaluate all resources retrieved. Describe each of
the five resources you have chosen, making sure you address EACH issue on the
checklist for each of the five resources. (Review Lesson 6, Evaluating Internet Resources,
for help in evaluating your resources.)
•
Cite each resource using the MLA citation format (See Lesson 7). Pay close attention to
the prope
r placement of punctuation and underlining. There are helpful online resources
for MLA style both in your campus libraries (citation guides and handouts) as well as
online (see
Subject Websites
--Citation Styles
). You will lose points if your material is not
cited properly.
•
Use the examples in the Sample Project (see attachment) as a general guideline for
completing your project. There are examples of documents
from organizations,
commercial, educational, and government sites. LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE
CITATION FORMAT FOR EACH.
•
Pay attention to grammar, punctuation and spelling when writing your annotations. Points
will be deducted for incorrect grammar, capitalizat
