Notes for Annotated Bibliography Assignment



The annotated bibliography is due at the beginning of class on W 4/10.

Example of a Source in MLA with Annotation (You only need to include the research question once in your bibliography)

Research Question: How is social media changing how businesses and customers interact?

Jones, Steve. “Blogging as a Two-Way Communication Medium” Journal of LIBR 1101. 4.1 (2013): 100-152.

This article by Jones, a media and communications professor at the University of LIBR 1101, outlines how blogging is radically different from traditional media such as radio and television due to its two-way nature; that is, it allows people to consume as well as create information in the form of comments and their own blog posts. I will use this resource to demonstrate how blogging, a key type of social media, must be used differently by businesses than their other promotional channels due to this difference. Instead of merely broadcasting information to their customers, they must include those customers in the conversation and allow for them to share their own thoughts and opinions.


Additional tips
For websites, you should demonstrate why the chosen source is credible and trustworthy in your annotation (by briefly mentioning the organization behind the content and/or the identity of the author, for example).
