Upgrade StorageExamples of Annotated Bibliographies
I've been asked to prepare an annotated bibliography of the research material that I used to prepare a local history book for a non-profit group. I have only the mos general notion of what this involves.
Can you point me to web-accessible examples that are good models - structure; annotations; whatever it takes to be considered a "good example".
I know that this may be akin to starting a religious debate, but I'm hoping to avoid a lot of false starts.
Thanks

a) this is a mainly tech support forum for one specific bibliographic software - probably not the best way to search for this - find a more broadly history centered forum and ask there
b) ask the people who want the annotated bibliography what they have in mind - there are a lot of different practices, ranging from a sorted bibliography with comments on each work to a discussion of key works in prose. Any good popular history book (Hobsbawm's "Age of Extreme's", Zinn's "People's History..." etc.) has examples of the latter.
Thanks for the response.
You're right, of course, that this is a technical forum. I've been using it to learn how to work effectively with Zotero.
I figured that forum participants would be aware of what might be called "best practice" or "shining examples" of annotated bibliographies.
There are lots of examples of how to produce a bibliography that meets various standards - APA, Chicago, etc. Most of the major universities have them on their web sites. I was hoping for something better.
