Literature review and annotated bibliographies
What is a literature review?
A literature review is an overview of the significant literature published on a topic. Rather than evaluating each source separately, a 'lit review' is written in essay form and explains how each contributes to the topic.
What is an annotated bibliography?
An annotated bibliography is a list of all the sources you are going to use to write your paper. 'Annotations' are short paragraphs that describe and evaluate each resource.
