Annotated Bibliography Toolkit: Home

In the context of this assignment for Dr. Kerr-Heraly history courses, an annotated bibliography is the bibliographic citation of a source followed by a written description of the source. Your annotated bibliography will be part of the site you will create in https://my.bulbapp.com/

The written description that will be included after each source citation includes:

1. A summary of the information in the source
2. An assessment of the information in the source
3. A reflection that describes how the source information fits in your research
