...(317)274-2049 (317)278-8171 www.iupui.edu/~uwc “Because writers need readers” Preparing an Annotated Bibliography Classes that require you to do research often require an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a useful way to start a research project because it asks you to collect and summarize sources that you might use later in a research paper. Collecting and summarizing sources early in the research process helps you narrow your research topic. The bibliography can also help you evaluate the possible usefulness of source material for later use in a paper. This handout is designed to show you how to create an annotated bibliography. Specifically, it will guide you through the process of creating an annotated bibliography by 1) describing in general terms the meaning of the words “annotated bibliography,” 2) explaining in general terms how to write an annotated bibliography, and 3) offering an example of what an annotated bibliography could look like. However, it is important to note that individual instructors may have different requirements for their annotated bibliography assignments. Please check with your teacher or assignment sheet BEFORE following the advice in this handout. What is an Annotated Bibliography? If you have been assigned to write an annotated bibliography, you might be confused about what the words "annotated" and "bibliography" mean. The word “annotated” is the past tense form of the verb “to annotate” which means to summarize. An annotation...

...Handout Description A review of literature is a critical analysis of a portion of the published body of knowledge available through the use of summary, classification, and comparison of previous research studies, reviews of literature, and journal articles (“How to Write a Literature Review”, 2012). This handout discusses the reasons for writing a literature review and presents its various requirements. It examines what a literature review is, as well as what it is not; it distinguishes between the literature review and the annotated bibliography. Like many academic writing assignments, there is not one universal standard for writing a literature review. Its format can differ from discipline to discipline and from assignment to assignment. There is, however, an overall structure that is commonly used across various disciplines, and this format is examined in more detail. The handout concludes with some helpful “tips and tricks” for preparing a literature review. Disclaimer: The content of a literature review may vary from discipline to discipline and from assignment to assignment. The literature review content recommended in this handout is that which is most commonly included. If in doubt about what you should include in your literature review, please consult your professor.

...Annotated Bibliography of Sources Explanation Antuan D Lyles Jr. Gen/200 March 11, 2012 Dick Eacott Annotated Bibliography of Sources Explanation I begin by transforming my life from being a United States Marine and beginning a journey as a civilian college student. Maintaining the values I was taught and hard working ethics that have been instilled in me as I developed into a man. Honor, Courage and Commitment have been the driving force of my life. Believing in myself and having the motivation to continue to better my life are all important and a major part of my personal responsibilities. The honor that comes along with having been a Marine and serving my country allows me to have the realization that if I work hard at all things I will become successful. The challenges I face which I feel is managing my time and keeping the fire alive to be able to get my degree as soon as possible. I served in the military for 8 years. This time spent I was groomed to be a self-reliable. It made me able to keep focused on bettering my craft and preparing myself to get ready for more responsibilities by getting promoted to higher ranks. That prior experience I hope to keep going inside me as I continue to take harder classes and more attention to detail is required. This challenge is not as physically demanding as the military was to me but probably just as mentally demanding. College is not a sprint it is a marathon and the end result will be me succeeding and...

...Self-Discovery thru the Art of Listening: An Annotated Bibliography Diane Jones Saint Petersburg College INTRODUCTION The resources listed in this annotated bibliography are intended to bring to light the importance of listening, in our professional lives as well as in our personal lives. The focus is learning to listen and the importance of being a good listener. Whether in a business relationship or a personal relationship, communication is the key --- forty-five percent of which is listening. Having good listening skills can lead to career advancement. For instance, a manager needs to have the ability to listen nonjudgmentally for valid information and to understand others point of view in order to make managerial decisions. Active listening can help you better understand thoughts and feelings of others and provide positive communication in your relationships. A portion of this research involves self-knowledge and how to get to know yourself better. We are always talking to ourselves, silently, in our heads, thinking… without really paying attention or analyzing our thoughts. Are we really even listening to ourselves? Perhaps we could discover a part of our unknown selves… I am now wondering what all I have missed out on in my lifetime from hearing rather than listening. There is an art to listening and it must be learned and developed through practice. Learning to listen effectively is a complex, challenging, and lifelong undertaking. These resources offer...

The historical analysis of the company’s sales shows that the company’s total sales are 30% cash sales and 70% credit sales. Further analysis of credit sales shows that the company receives 50% of the credit sales one month after the sale and the remaining 50% in the second month after the sale. This means the cash collections from sales are 30% in the first month of the sale, 35% in the second month, and 35% in the third month. The materials purchased by the company amounts to 50% of the sales for the month. The company pays for the purchases one month after the initial purchase.
