HOW TO CREATE AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

Choose a topic to research using the Library's resources. Find books at SXU, or borrow from I-Share. Find full-text articles in the Library's core journals and subject-specific databases. Read selected sources, summarize, and submit in the form of an annotated bibliography.

Everything You Need to Know About Creating an Annotated Bibliography
Find articles relevant to your topic, read selected articles and cite your sources in a bibliography, using one of the citation formats, i.e., APA, MLA. The "annotated" part is where you summarize in your own words the article you just read. Your summary should be descriptive and include salient points about the article.

And what is the relationship between gender issues and globalizing concerns such as environmental change and economic restructuring? Raewyn Connell, one of the world’s leading scholars in the field, is here joined by Rebecca Pearse as they answer these questions and more.

Drunk Tank Pink by Adam Alter
Call Number: Borrow from I-Share
ISBN: 0143124935
Publication Date: 2014-02-25
A revelatory look at how our environment unconsciously yet dramatically shapes the judgments and decisions we make every day. Most of us go through life believing that we are in control of the choices we make—that we think and behave almost independently from the world around us. But as Drunk Tank Pink illustrates, the truth is our environment shapes our thoughts and actions in myriad ways without our permission or even our knowledge. Armed with surprising data and endlessly fascinating examples, Adam Alter addresses the subtle but substantial ways in which outside forces influence us—such as color’s influence on mood, our bias in favor of names with which we identify, and how sunny days can induce optimism as well as aggression. Drunk Tank Pink proves that the truth behind our feelings and actions goes much deeper than the choices we take for granted every day.
