Annotated Bibliography Assignment SheetFor your upcoming literat.docx

Annotated Bibliography Assignment Sheet
For your upcoming literature review, your team is required to
gather 10 published sources which address your research
question. Divide your research task among team members,
requiring each person to find four recently published articles
from a reliable journal or other professional source. Out of all
those gathered, the team will eventually need to decide on the
10 best, and those sources will be used for your literature
review. Before you send members off to do research
individually, talk to each other about which databases to use to
ensure you are not all using the same one.
The annotated bibliography is a report of the outcome of your
search for me, your project supervisor. Based on your annotated
bibliography, I will be able to assess whether you are
conducting your library research efficiently, and whether you
are ready to draft your literature review. I will let you know
whether you should proceed or change your research strategy or
approach. Therefore, before you get too far along in this
process, send me an email containing the citations for the
articles you PLAN to use (or show me in class), so if I see any
problems, they can be corrected BEFORE you write your
annotated bibliography or your literature review.
IMPORTANT:
· All team members should look for articles which address your
team’s research question; do NOT decide ahead of time what
you think the subtopics are and then ask each team member to
research those separately. You should all focus on your team’s
research question, allowing the authors to “tell” YOU what the
important issues are dealing with your subject.
· To be able to write the literature review, everyone on the team
must READ and subsequently USE all the articles, so don’t

view them as “my articles” and “your articles.” The sources you
find become part of your TEAM’S sources, and much of the
success of your project rests on their relevance and usefulness.
· Be sure to make copies or email copies of each article to your
team. Do NOT print out multiple copies in the computer room.
· Make sure the articles you choose are recently published,
credible, and narrowly focused on your topic.
Each annotation includes the following:
· The full bibliographical citation in APA and one paragraph
containing two elements:
· a descriptive abstract and
· a statement of relevance toyour topic
The descriptive abstract explains what the article covers and
summarizes key points. It should establish the credibility of the
author, explain the work’s primary purpose, and compare this
work with others when appropriate. Add to this the statement of
relevance, a sentence or two that concludes your paragraph by
explaining how this source is related to your topic. It notes
specific information found in the article that may prove useful
in determining a solution to the problem.
FORMAT:
Sources should appear in alphabetical order according to the
author’s last name. Justify left the first line of each citation and
use the hanging indent feature for the second and any
subsequent lines. Skip a line between the citation and the
abstract. Each abstract should be one fully developed paragraph.
EXAMPLE:
Lukawitz, J.M., & Steinbart, P. (1995). Investor reaction to
disclosures of employee fraud. Journal of

Management, 7(2), 358-368.
Human resources experts Lukawitz and Steinbart discussed the
seriousness of fraud among American businesses and estimated
the annual losses due to employee theft and embezzlement.
Their research showed that companies have been criticized for
not reporting cases of discovered employee fraud, and the
authors claimed that the rationale for not disclosing such news
is the fear of negative publicity. This position differed from that
taken in the Kowalski article, which discussed the role of
government in such cases. This study was a key source for our
project because it examined investors’ reactions to disclosures
of employee fraud.
(updated 12/12. Please refer to Purdue OWL for latest APA
updates)
Dos and Don’ts:
1. DO make sure each team member writes his or her own
annotations.
2. DO NOT plagiarize abstracts found via your search. Write
your own, customizing them to your specific research problem.
3. DO use complete sentences.
4. DO NOT attempt to write a complete summary of the source;
just explain what it contains and describe what it covers, then
explain why this source is relevant to your project.
5. DO NOT include your audience interview as one of your
sources on the annotated bib or on the reference page of your
literature review. The annotated bibliography document records
your library sources.
6. DO NOT number the entries.
7. DO NOT begin each paragraph with “This article talks
about...” -- articles can’t talk. Just begin with the author’s name
or introduce the topic of the article in other ways, as in the
example above.

8. DO use APA, not MLA.

The Columbus Dog

s one of the older rescue
groups in Ohio, the Columbus
Dog Connection has been
around for almost 17 years. Its
statewide profile was elevated after
leading the push for O hio’s anti
puppy mill bill a few years ago,
but the nonprofit has quietly been
making a difference for decades.
One reason for its longevity is its
ability to do more with less.
Kellie DiFrischia, co-founder and
co-director of the Columbus Dog
Connection, says that one of their
board members calls the nonprofit
the most frugal she’s ever been
involved with.

T h e group also has branched
out into the spay/neuter business
because i t ’s hard to address the
overpopulation problem w ithout
doing both rescue and spay/neuter.
“We would love to be out of
business,” DiFrischia says.
Smart Business spoke with DiFrischia
about making every dollar count as
the Columbus Dog Connection seeks
to build a stronger community.

alleviate the suffering of dogs. That task
has come in many forms over the years.
Primarily, we re-home dogs and cats by
rescuing abandoned pets, promoting all
rescues and shelters in Ohio and being
dogged in the pursuit of saving every
adoptable dog until dogs and cats are no
longer euthanized for lack of space.
However, we also were the lead
advocacy agency on Ohio’s anti-puppy
mill bill. We started a low cost mobile
spay/neuter clinic to directly address the

need for lower cost spay/neuter. And we
have always shared our resources with
other rescue groups and continue to
assist them with the donations we are not
using.
We also help the groups we do spay/
neuter with by sharing grant money we

The article profiles the Santa Paula, California-based nonprofit,
the
National Search Dog Foundation. Particular focus is given to
the
organization's founder, Wilma Melville, who is now 84.
Additional topics
discussed include how the non-profit rescues dogs from pounds
and
shelters in the U.S. and trains them to be FEMA-certified search
dogs
and how the organization was founded in 1996.

WILMA MELVILLE'S CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT SAVES
HOMELESS CANINES AND TRAINS THEM TO BE
SEARCH DOGS
Last January, hours after a deadly wall of mud and debris roared
through Montecito, Calif., one of the first

responders on the scene was a 12-year-old border collie named
Jester. "He would kill himself to find that scent
of a survivor," says Jester's handler Capt. Davis Doty of the
Orange County Fire Authority. "It's what he lives
for."
The fact that Jester is alive at all is thanks to 84-year-old Wilma
Melville—and her National Search Dog
Foundation. Launched in 1996, the Santa Paula, Calif.-based
non-profit rescues dogs from pounds and
shelters around the country, trains them to be FEMA-certified
search dogs, then pairs them with first
responders. Abandoned in 2007, Jester was days away from
being euthanized when Melville found him at a
Northern California shelter. "The high energy which makes dogs
like Jester difficult to live with can actually
make them great search dogs," says Melville, whose volunteer
staff and four full-time handlers have trained
and deployed nearly 200 canines.
The retired gym teacher started SDF after she and her search
dog Murphy assisted at the site of the 1995
Oklahoma City bombing—where she'd been shocked to learn
that there were only 15 certified search dog
teams in the nation. "Since 1996 our dogs have been deployed
around the world to hurricanes, earthquakes
and floods," says Melville. "If anything good came out of the
Oklahoma City bombing, this was it."

For some, the term trig-gers melancholy music and images of
dogs and
cats in an animal shelter,
while others experience
a visual flurry of golf
tournaments, silent auc-
tions and rubber chicken
lunches. Still others recall
summer camp, dance per-
formances, sports compe-
titions and music recitals
(hey!... “one time at band
camp...” umm, but I di
gress). For many more, the
ideas—the possibilities—for
how we might make the
world a better place is their
hovering zone.
I recently met a gentle-
man who is truly making
the whole world a better
place. He was a keynote

speaker at a leadership
summit dinner and his
speech really drew me in.
He co-founded a hum an-
itarian nonprofit with a
colleague, almost 20 years
ago, that rapidly assembles
and deploys rescue/relief
teams to communities all
over the world. Disaster
after disaster, crisis after
crisis, this man responds
to the call, sometimes
even before the real “call”
comes in—and he is often
first on the ground before
his team(s) arrive. The
mission, proudly stated in
their materials, is to help
“people all over the world
overcome extreme crises,
providing millions with
the vital support needed to
move from destruction to
reconstruction, and even-
tually, to sustainable

living.” Wow! Not just “cri

ses” but “extreme crises.”
And there are many occur-
ring frequently, keeping an
organization like that quite
busy. Natural disasters,
terrorist and tyranny, out-
breaks of disease—the list
never seems to end.
When asked his motiva-
tion to keep on this intense
path, he claims many
reasons, one of the most
prominent being his reali-
zation that he views “disas
ter” quite differently than
perhaps most people. He
finds opportunity in the
chaos, although not exactly
in the manner conveyed
in Sun Tzu’s “Art of War."
What keeps him motivat-
ed and engaged, he says,
is honing in on the “post
traumatic growth” poten
tial-twisting all that natu-
ral and very tangible stress
into methods and modes
for healing, especially with
children. And, he views
humanitarian relief as “ac
tive anthropology,” an up
close and real-time study
in people and community
(or society) evolving in a
major way.

I like that. It touched
me. I still roll it around my
own brainpan as I ponder
how those of us within the
nonprofit sector might also
consider our own projects
and initiatives in this light.
It is true that not every
group is literally out saving
entire countries in one fell
swoop. And perhaps not
every organization raises
millions of dollars each
year, and quite likely, most
volunteer teams do not
find themselves literally
leaping out of helicopters
over rushing waters or
collapsing buildings. How-
ever, we are touching many
when we help find homes
for those without, and we
do impact whole com-
munities when we make
