This section on bibliographies is a supplement to the material in Chapter 2 of your text. These bibliographies are usually called Works Cited or simply References .
Annotated bibliographies are different.
They are also lists of published works written about a particular subject, but they include a paragraph for each entry that summarizes the important findings and conclusions of the works' authors. They state what work the authors performed, basically how they performed it, and what they found out or were able to conclude about the meaning of the work. They do not simply list the topics of the authors' discussions-without stating the significance of the authors' analysis of the data. In other words, annotated bibliographies are conclusive , not simply descriptive. Houghton Mifflin Company, 1962.
