This reading was extremely short, but I suprisingly learned a couple of new definitions and ideas. Firstly, until reading this article, I had never heard of a "annotated bibliography". The Thomson Handbook did a very good job of breifly explaining the process of writing one. I can definitely see how writing a brief annotated bibliography can be helpful. With the dozons of sources you look at when writing a research paper, it probably makes it easier to organize all these resources into one summerizing list. However, I think the example the book showed was a bit much. I feel that writing a super detailed annotated bibliography whould be a waste of time for me. If I were to write any annotated bibliographies, they would probably be short and percise, with a list of key topics.
