Quick Guide for the Annotated Bibliography Assignment

Assignment Task

Annotated Bibliography

Develops and assesses your bibliographic skills in two ways:

• the substantive content of the Annotated Bibliography as the assignment - that is, a part of the work for each of the ten sources; and
• the regular Bibliography that is to be included at the end of all academic work. These bibliographies record all of the sources that guided or influenced or were directly cited in a work -so, this instance, for example, it must include at least the ten that were cited in the work but it might include more (if you did some other reading to assist your understanding).

1) It is recommended that you use the Template that is provided as part of the material for this assignment (under the Assessment folder on the Blackboard site). The Template has three cells for each of the ten sources - citation, steps to locate the source, initial analysis.

2) With respect to both Annotated Bibliography work and regular Bibliography For both of these elements of the assessment you are required to follow the formatting requirements of section 1.13 of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (4th ed, 2018) (‘the AGLC’).

These include:

• The configuration of a first listed author’s name is Surname, Given-name and any subsequent author is Given-name, Surname. (Note that in a footnote, for all authors the given name is placed before the surname and without a comma between them).
• Bibliography entries do not have a full stop after them (but entries in footnotes do).

3) With respect to Annotated Bibliography elements only For the work of the Annotated Bibliography please additionally note:

All other AGLC formatting style requirements apply - please be sure to familiarize yourself with this Guide at an overall level.

For example:

• case names and legislation titles are italicized
• direct quotes must use ‘single’ quotation marks (not “double” quote marks).
• if you include a direct quote then you must reference this in a footnote

NB: forthe purposes of this Task

• If, in the initial analysis you paraphrase (put ideas from a source into your own words} then
  you do not have to include a footnote reference (ordinarily in academic work you would).

4) With respect to main/regular Bibliography only
For the main/regular Bibliography:

Organise the list according to the headings/categories detailed in section 1.13 of the AGLC as they apply to groups of sources — both those used in the Annotated Bibliography and any other

Those categories are:

A  Articles/Books/Reports

B Cases

C Legislation

D Treaties

E Other

If you have not referred to any sources from a particular category then do not include that category in this Bibliography. For example, if you do not refer to any treaties as a source then do not include the heading D Treaties. If you do not include a heading, change the numbering of subsequent headings to be in correct ascending order - eg:

A  Articles/Books/Reports

B Cases

C Legislation

D Other

Within each category, arrange the entries in headings and in alphabetical order (as detailed above -that is by first letter of first word of the entry) within each heading.

Essay

• The notes for Task | apply to Task II also - with one exception related to paraphrasing.
•  In the essay, in addition to direct quotes, every time you paraphrase an idea or material you must reference the source of that idea or material in a footnote.
• The footnote must include the pinpoint reference. The pinpoint reference is the paragraph number (if relevant) or page number(s) from where the idea or material has been sourced.
• As you are reading your sources at the Annotated Bibliography stage, make a note of the pinpoint reference so, if at the later essay stage you want to use that idea or material, you can seamlessly find and reference it in the footnotes for the essay.
