  annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to
  inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and

• USEFULNESS - How useful is it to your paper? eg.
  Is it a research article? Is it too scientific
  for your needs? Is it too general?
• COMPARISON - Is it similar to another work or in
  contrast to another work/author?
• CONCLUSIONS - Have the author(s) made any

ANNOTATIONS VS. ABSTRACTS

• Abstracts are the purely descriptive summaries
  often found at the beginning of scholarly journal
  articles or in periodical indexes. Annotations
  are descriptive and critical they expose the
  author's point of view, clarity and
  appropriateness of expression, and authority.

How to get going

• First, locate and record citations to books,
  periodicals, and documents that may contain
  useful information and ideas on your topic.
  Briefly examine and review the actual items. Then
  choose those works that provide a variety of
  perspectives on your topic.
• Cite the book, article, or document using the
  appropriate style.

26
Using your notes

• Write a concise annotation that summarizes the
  central theme and scope of the book or article.
  Include one or more sentences that
• (a) evaluate the authority or background of the
  author,
• (b) comment on the intended audience,
• (c) compare or contrast this work with another
  you have cited, or
• (d) explain how this work illuminates your
  bibliography topic.

Example

• Trevor, CO, Lansford, B Black, JW 2004,
  Employee turnover and job performance
  monitoring the influences of salary growth and
  promotion, Journal of Armchair Psychology,
  vol.113, no.1, pp56-64.
• In this article Trevor et al. review the
  influences of pay and job opportunities in
  respect to job performance, turnover rates and
  employee motivation. The authors use data gained
  through organisational surveys of blue-chip
  companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify
  the main causes of employee turnover and whether
  it is linked to salary growth. Their research
  focuses on assessing a range of pay structures
  such as pay for performance and organisational
  reward schemes. The article is useful to my
  research topic, as Trevor et al. suggest that
  there are numerous reasons for employee turnover
  and variances in employee motivation and
  performance.
• The main limitation of the article is that the
  survey sample was restricted to mid-level
  management, thus the authors indicate that
  further, more extensive, research needs to be
  undertaken to develop a more in-depth
  understanding of employee turnover and job
  performance. This article will not form the basis
  of my research however it will be useful
  supplementary information for my research on pay
  structures.

Finding good sources

• Using Google is not the best way to go about
  searching for good quality articles by qualified
  and respected academics.
• The best sources are hidden in databases so you
  have to know where to find the databases for your
  subject.
• Some freely available database searches are
• Google Scholar and Microsofts Academic Search
• Subscription databases have a wider selection and
  often the full text of the source rather than
  just the citation or abstract.
• Examples
• QuestiaSchool.com, The State Librarys OneSearch
  which searches across many subscription databases.

Boolean Terms
The following table illustrates the operation of
Boolean terms
And Or Not
Each result contains all search terms. Each result contains at least one search term. Results do not contain the specified terms.
The search heart and lung finds items that contain both heart and lung. The search heart or lung finds items that contain either heart or items that contain lung. The search heart not lung finds items that contain heart but do not contain lung.
If there are nested parentheses, the search
engine processes the innermost parenthetical
expression first, then the next, and so on until
the entire query has been interpreted. For
example, ((mouse OR rat) AND trap) OR mousetrap

  also record
• The date you accessed the source
• The electronic address or email
• The type of electronic resource (email,
  discussion forum, WWW page, etc)
• In addition to these details, when you are taking

  down the page numbers you got the information
  from. 

36
When to Cite

• Quote directly use another persons ideas in
  their words
• Paraphrase present another persons ideas in
  your words
• Summarise express another persons ideas in
  fewer words
• Use ideas, theories, facts, experiments, case
  studies, from a source

  words!

37
How to cite examples

• When using quotations in your text observe the
  following examples
• He stated, The relative importance of the
  systems may nevertheless remain in approximately
  the same proportion (Gardner, 1973, p. 41)
• Smith (1991) found that ... there is no evidence
  that chimpanzees can produce a drawing and
  discern the object represented in it ... (p. 84)

38
Citing when there is no author

• When a source has no author, cite the first two
  or three words of the title followed by the year.
  For example
• ... in the recent book (Encyclopaedia of
  psychology, 1991, p. 62)...
• ... in this article (Individual differences,
  1993, p. 12) ...
• Web pages where no author is given
• Alcohol Concern (Call to stop, 2007) have
  proposed various policies to
• The key point is that your in-text reference
  matches the start of the reference in your
  reference list/bibliography.

39
Your Mission Today

• Locate 3-5 sources on your topic. Write Harvard
  Cited style entry for each source.
• Look for any biographical info./credentials you
  can find about the author and note them.
• Scan the source and note the content. Look at a
  few specific passages that catch your
  eyesummarize them. Do you detect any bias? Is
  the source written for a particular audience
  (scholars, professionals in the field, general
  adult audience, educators, social workers,
  parents, teenagers, the poor, religious etc)?
• Write your annotated bibliography from your notes.

40
Top Referencing Tips

• Your reference should help your reader to recover
  your source easily. If it cannot be found again,
  dont reference it.
• Be consistent with layout and punctuation.
• Only list references you have read yourself.
• Do not list sources that are mentioned in the
  works you have seen when compiling your reference
  list.
• There will not be guidance for every type or
  variation of a source.
• Use the nearest style you can find to fit the
  source.
• If in doubt, do what your teacher says, not what
  the library says or what the referencing system
  says. Only teachers give and take away marks.
