ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY 1
Updated 02/2010
APA 6 th
Edition Guidelines: Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography is the full citation of a source followed by notes and commentary
about a source. The word “annotate” means “critical or explanatory notes” and the word
“bibliography” means “a list of sources”. Annotations are not the same as abstracts. Abstracts
are purely descriptive summaries often found at the beginning of scholarly/ academic journal
articles. Annotations are meant to be critical in addition to being descriptive.
Format:
The format for an annotated bibliography is similar to that of a research paper. Use one-inch
margins on all sides, double-space your entries, and arrange each entry in alphabetical order.
Hanging Indents are required for citations in the bibliography, as shown below. The first line of
the citation starts at the left margin and subsequent lines of the citation will be indented.

This article discusses the problem of unintentional online plagiarism and many
students’ inability to evaluate, critique, synthesize, and credit online sources properly.
Two case studies from different disciplines, which were designed to foster critical
evaluation of the Internet and scholarly sources, are discussed in detail. The CARS
(Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, Support) checklist for evaluating research
sources is also introduced and applied in these case studies. I found this article useful
because much of the content of these case studies can be easily adapted to fit
assignments in different academic disciplines. One information literacy assignment
in one quarter at college is not enough. If students are expected to use the Internet in
a responsible way, educators must provide guidelines and relevant experience that
allows students to apply those guidelines in practical ways.

Module 05 Questions/Problems - Short-term Investments
One method healthcare companies use to finance future growth is to invest their excess cash in short-term investments. The four most common short-term investments are treasury bills, CDs, commercial paper, and money markets.
1. In your own words, explain how each of the four investments work and their relative risk level.
2. If your company had $100,000 to invest for around 1-year, which one of the 4 types of short-term investment would you suggest using and why?
3. Look at CD rates over different time periods. What are the current CD rates for 1-year? 5-years? 10-years? (You can find CD rates on many bank's websites.) Why do you think the rates are different?
