This guide will help you find resources for your annotated bibliography assignment available through the Alverno library. For more information on formatting your annotated bibliography, review chapter 14.59 of the Chicago Manual of Style.
For more examples of annotations consult Purdue University's OWL online guide.
Before you begin using the research tools of the library take some time to think about your topic and research question. Use the search strategy worksheet to generate a list of key concepts and synonyms to help you find information.
This is a general database that is a great place to start searching for articles on your topic.
TIPS
JSTOR contains a wide-range of information related to the humanities. It is an excellent resource for finding articles to cite in your annotated bibliography and reviews of books.
TIPS
Google is great for casual research, but Google Scholar is a better resource to find information for your annotated bibliography. Use the link to Google Scholar that's on the library homepage. This is synced to our databases, so if we have full text, it should give you a link.
This is also a great way to check for full text if you find a citation elsewhere. If Google Scholar doesn't lead you to the full text, contact the library for help getting a free copy of the resource you want.
