"An annotation is a summary and/or evaluation. Therefore, an annotated bibliography includes a summary and/or evaluation of each of the sources. Depending on your project or the assignment, your annotations may do one or more of the following.
Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary is. (4 - 5 sentences in connection to your artist)
* For art, consider if it discusses the artist's style, identity, context in which art was made.
Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? (One or two sentences)
Reflect: Once you've summarized and assessed a source, you need to ask how it fits into your research. How can you use this source in your research project? Has it changed how you think about your topic? (Generally one sentence at the end)
After you've entered data for citation, there's a box at the bottom for your annotation
