Creating an annotated bibliography
|
Gathering good information is an important skill for career development.
There are many resources available. Some are books. As you work through
the course, you should create and add to your annotated bibliography of
useful books.
- Choose a format for your bibliography (e.g., spreadsheet, card index.)
An electronic spreadsheet program is recommended because it is flexible
and easy to manage.
- Create a list of categories of information you will want to record,
and design the form for your bibliography. For example:
| TITLE |
AUTHOR |
PUBLISHER |
DATE |
SUBJECT |
| Creative decision making using positive
uncertainty |
H.B. Gelatt |
Crisp Publishing |
1991 |
Description of a decision making model
that "can help you better manage life as you deal with its inconsistencies
and uncertainties." An approach to decision making that combines intuitive
insights with the rational decision making model often used |
Make sure your design makes this bibliography useful for you. For example,
you might also want to include:
- the Dewey Decimal Classification number for the book and whether it's
available in your local library
- your comments about the book
- a rating system that you devise.
As you use your bibliography, you may find that you want to revise the
format.
- Follow the links for information about the books below and fill in
as much information in your bibliography as you can.
- Use your school or local library catalogue to find other titles you
might be interested in and to find the Dewey Decimal Classification
numbers of the above books. Or use one of the online library catalogues
listed in the online directory below:
