Works Cited vs. Annotated Bibliography

A Works Cited page is a list of the references used in your research or in your paper.

An Annotated Bibliography is a list of the references used in your research or in your paper, and also includes a brief paragraph containing a summary or evaluation of the sources, the annotation. The annotation is there to inform the reader of the significance, relevance, and quality of the reference materials used in the paper.
