The annotated bibliography is an important step in the research process. It requires you to think about if a source works well for your project and how you might use it. It is a pretty straightforward assignment: you seek out timely, relevant, credible, useful sources from the library; you create a bibliography using MLA standards; and then you annotate the bibliography entries. You are fortunate to have a vast library at your fingertips. The OSU library is amazing, and you can easily narrow down your database searches to find peer-reviewed research only, or even electronic sources only (as opposed to physical texts). With the vastness, though, comes , most of which are totally irrelevant. So you will want to practice using synonyms and specific search terms. You likely have much experience navigating Google––this is similar. If you type “Family Guy” into the search bar, you are going to get about a thousand hits of random ads or TV guide blips about Family Guy. But if you type something like “Family Guy shock humor,” you might find more specific results. Occasionally it is easier to use Google/Google Scholar. You can find sources there, and then enter their info in the OSU Library database in order to find the full text. Expectations of your Annotated Bibliography:
