Writing an annotated bibliography

For your Target Presentation there will be an annotated bibliography due at the day of the presentation. So the question I am being asked is...

WHAT IS AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY?

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 50-100 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited.

Write a concise annotation that summarizes the central theme and scope of the book or article. Include one or more sentences that (a) evaluate the authority or background of the author, (b) comment on the intended audience, (c) compare or contrast this work with another you have cited, or (d) explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic.

The reference librarians at a respected American school have gathered together sources to assist students in their research. This page has been recently updated in order to keep up with new technology. Missions students can access this Web site any where in the world to help them write better papers. It is only offered in English so it is limited to use by English readers. It is similar, but smaller than the site maintained by Purdue University.
