What does a good annotated list look like?
 |
The best annotated list contains a citation with at least the author’s name, the original copyright date, the title of the web page, and the uniform resource locator followed by a concisely written description of the contents of the site and why you found them important. Here is an annotated list of examples of annotated lists. The Library of California (May 8, 2003) Librarians’ Index to the Internet: New This Week http://lii.org/search/ntw O'Connor, Dennis. Annotated Links. 21st Century Information Portal. Aurora (IL): 21st Century Information Fluency Project, 16 August 2005- [cited 17 November 2005]. Available from Internet: <http://21cif.imsa.edu/resources/links/>. This resource supplies annotated links about a wide variety of issues related in information fluency. |
How can technology make this process easier?
David Warlick has created an online resource to help educators create their own interactive web sites in a fairly painless manner. "PiNet Library" http://pinetlibrary.com/index.php quickly creates annotated lists while you search without causing undue interruptions. Instructions walk you through each step. Choose to use some or all of the tools. The Landmark Project http://www.landmark-project.com.
