An annotated bibliography is a bibliography that gives a précis information of the research that has been done. In addition to bibliographic data, an annotated bibliography provides a brief summary or annotation for instance Primary Sources of the Information journals/periodicals articles. The purpose of annotations is to provide the reader with a summary and an evaluation of the source. In order to write a successful annotation, each summary must be concise. An annotation should display the source's central idea(s) and give the reader a general idea of what the source is about. It is still an alphabetical list of research sources.

 You want to prepare an annotated bibliography. First of all you chose a topic for example “Online Public Access Catalogues: An annotated bibliography”.

It should include some or all of the following:

• Bibliographical Details of the article
• Concise representation of the documents
• Scope or main purpose of the work.
• Any detectable bias.
• Intended audience and level of reading.
• A summary comment.

Ideally, an annotation should be between 100 to 200 words.

After that you can arrange the document according to

Author wise

Subject wise,

Title-wise,

Etc.
