After the bibliographic information, double space and then provide an annotation. The annotation is three to five sentences and describes the sources useful information. Tell the reader what information may be found in the source and how/what may be learned about the culture from it. You are NOT writing research on the culture. You are seeking quality reference information and in the annotation, you are to evaluate its potential for your use in the project.
