For this phase of Project 1, you will use the Library’s databases to find at least three articles that discuss your career and write an annotated bibliography of those articles. When you complete Project 1, you will use at least one of these articles as a source (you may use them all, but one is required).
Go to the Library’s website to access the databases. I will guide you through finding relevant articles using some of the popular databases such as Academic Search Complete, Gale Academic One File, and LexisNexis.
After you have found your articles, write a memo that follows this format:
Header
Introduction (describe what is this memo’s purpose–it is an annotated bibliography of sources related to X career)
Bibliographic entry for the first article
50 word summary of the article in your own words.
Quote from article with parenthetical citation in APA format.
Bibliographic entry for the second article
50 word summary of the article in your own words.
Quote from article with parenthetical citation in APA format.
Bibliographic entry for the third article
50 word summary of the article in your own words.
Quote from article with parenthetical citation in APA format.
A draft of this memo will be due during class next week.
For each article’s bibliographic entry, look at the “Article from a Database” section on this page.
For each article’s quote that you use, write a parenthetical citation following the models provide on this page and this page. In general, a quote from an article with page numbers will end with a parenthetical like this: (Lastname, year, p. 4) where “4” is the fourth page, and a quote from an article without page numbers will end with a parenthetical citation like this: (Lastname, year, para. 4) where the number “4” refers to the fourth paragraph from the beginning of the article.
