The document discusses a research seminar about annotating bibliographies. It aims to define what an annotated bibliography is, discuss how to write one, and provide examples. An annotated bibliography lists citations from sources related to a research topic, with each citation followed by a 150-word summary of the source content and critical analysis of its relevance. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to describe, explain the context, relevance, accuracy, and quality of research sources to support a research project.

• Summary:
• The annotated bibliography
the process:
When you have found a number of resources that you judge to
be relevant and valuable, you will annotate each one by
summarising the theme and scope of the item, examining
critically how the contents of the item relate to your research
interest and the relevance and usefulness of the information
provided.
