 **WHAT IS AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY?** “The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to inform the reader of the relevancy, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited" (Cornell University). According to Wikipedia, an annotated bibliography should include the following:  **See sample below:** The authors, researchers at the Rand Corporation and Brown University, use data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of Young Women and Young Men to test their hypothesis that nonfamily living by young adults alters their attitudes, values, plans, and expectations, moving them away from their belief in traditional sex roles. They find their hypothesis strongly supported in young females, while the effects were fewer in studies of young males. Increasing the time away from parents before marrying increased individualism, self-sufficiency, and changes in attitudes about families. In contrast, an earlier study by Williams cited below shows no significant gender differences in sex role attitudes as a result of nonfamily living.  **Bibliography** [|//How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography//].
