Q. I need to write an annotated bibliography. How do I get started?

Some of the techniques and guidelines will vary from discipline to discipline and for specific assignments. Alway check with your professor to see if she or he has given you specific guidelines. Also, find out which style format the professor wants you to use, such as APA or MLA. To get you started, here is a set of webpages from the excellent Purdue OWL (Online Writing Lab).
