What’s an Annotated Bibliography?
_x000D_
Annotated bibliographies serve as a guide for research. A “bibliography†is a list of sources writers use to research a specific topic. An “annotation†is an extended description and evaluation of a source. An “annotated bibliography†is a list of sources with a detailed annotation of each source. Take a look at sample annotated bibliographies to get a sense for what an annotated bibliography does and looks like.Â

BEAM RequirementsÂ
_x000D_
Write an annotated bibliography of your research so far that includes at least five sources. At least three sources must be scholarly sources.Â
_x000D_
Using the BEAM classification, your revised bibliography must include sources that you are using in the following ways: background source, exhibit sources, and argument sources. A single source can count for more than one of these types of sources, e.g. you might classify one source as both a background source AND an exhibit source.Â

Grammar and UsageÂ
_x000D_
A well-written bibliography will use correct punctuation and grammar, avoid sentence-boundary issues, and demonstrate varied word and sentence usage. A perfect bibliography will be free of mechanical errors; a good bibliography will come very close to being error-free. A poor (read: failing) bibliography will annoy the reader with careless mistakes. However, you may revise your bibliography for your Research Paper Final Draft.Â
