Citation Guides and Guidelines for Annotated Bibliographies

Here are a few excellent go-to sources for creating citations in MLA, Chicago/Turabian, and Chicago Author-Date formats. Be sure to check with your professor on preferred citation style!

Guidelines for Annotated Bibliographies (Purdue Online Writing Lab)
An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (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. See this site for pointers on developing your annotations.

There are quite a few different ways to cite resources in your paper. The citation style usually depends on the academic discipline involved.

For example:

MLA style is typically used by the Humanities
APA style is often used by Education, Psychology, and Business.
Chicago/Turabian is generally used by History and some of the Fine Arts
Chicago Author-Date is used by Archeologists

Check with your professor to make sure you use the required style. Whatever style you use, be consistent!
