Annotated Bibliography

Campbell, Malcolm. “Title of this here as a sample format for a citation for an online magazine

article.” FunkyMonkey, Campbell News Inc. 16 Aug 2017. www.funkymonkey.com/title-

Drop a line to begin your summary, evaluation and assessment of the source’s value to

you here. It is fine to put your information into more than one paragraph. Several students

have asked how long the annotations should be and my answer is “long enough to

adequately cover the material you must cover for each of the three sections.” Usually, a

short paragraph alone is missing something. Take a look at the student samples, and

you’ll find some that are strong and some that are perhaps too short. I don’t remember.

If you use more than one paragraph, you can pick it up here. In general remember to

follow exact MLA rules for citing the specific type of source. Most of these rules are on

OWL. Once you’ve completed your source citation – and remember source citations

appear in alphabetical order – then do your annotation and once you’re done with that,

then go ahead and begin typing on the next listing.

Drop a line to begin your summary, evaluation and assessment of the source’s value to

you here. Note that with YouTube, it’s especially important to evaluate the reliability of

the source. If you can’t find information about the person featured in the video or the

poster, you might not have a reliable source. If it’s reliable, but you aren’t sure of the

“author” of the video, just start with the Title and continue without an author listed.
