The libraries have created a number of tutorials to learn more about conducting research. Check out Database Basics and Citations Overview to get started.

Need help creating annotated bibliographies? Below are a few sources that help explain what should be included in the annotations:

• How to Write an Annotated Bibliography by Temple's Writing Center
• Annotated Bibliographies by The Writing Center at University of Wisconsin-Madison
• Writing an Annotated Bibliography (includes sample phrases and terms) from University of Toronto
• Annotated Bibliographies by The Online Writing Center at Purdue University

A good annotation summarizes and evaluates each source. A good annotation does the following:

• summarizes the content of the source
• evaluate the usefulness of the source
• discusses the writer's background/credibility
• draws connections between the source content and the student's research topic
• begins with a properly formatted citation
