Course Project

• For the course project, you will create an annotated bibliography of five sources that cites and describes four of the best Internet resources on a specified topic and one of the best library database resources.

• You should use all of the search tools and evaluation criteria you have learned about in this course. The course project is due by ENTER DUE DATE HERE. The project is worth 100 points.

• Submit the project to your instructor as a Word document, in this drop box.

• You may choose your own topic, but it must be approved by your instructor. You should have your project topic submitted by ENTER DATE.

• Include both the topic AND a thesis statement with your bibliography.

• Find four different Internet resources and one library database resource that you think provide the most authoritative information about your topic. Include Web pages and ebooks (if appropriate).

• Use the project checklist to evaluate all resources retrieved. Describe each of the five resources you have chosen, making sure you address each issue on the checklist for each of the five resources. (Review Lesson 7, Evaluating Internet Resources, for help in evaluating your resources.)

• Cite each resource using the MLA citation format (See Lesson 3). Pay close attention to the proper placement of punctuation and underlining. You will lose points if your material is not cited properly.
