Annotated Bibliography
• Allows you to see what is out there
• Helps you narrow your topic and discard any irrelevant materials
• Aids in developing the thesis • Makes you a better scholar
What do I do first?Take a look at your topic and identify
key search terms, Ask a question.Most databases now use an implied
Boolean logic search scheme so a keyword search will get you started.
Boolean logic is the use of AND, NOT, OR to narrow or expand your search
See Research Guide for Writing Seminar
WHO CARES?
• State your topic as a question
• Identify main concepts or keywords
• Test the topic -- Look for keywords and synonyms and related terms for the information sought
Subject headings in catalogsBuilt-in thesauri in many databases
Reference sources Textbooks, lecture notes, readings Internet Librarians, Instructors
