CLASS REQUIREMENT # 4–TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION AND
PRACTICE: An Annotated Bibliography will be developed including
Five (100 word minimum per annotation) Annotated Citations. With
the exception of the first, these references will be based on topics
obtained from the Language Development Hypotheses in the list
provided at the end of this survival document, and again in the Class
Requirement Section online. You may use the same Topic for all, or
different Topics for each, or any combination thereof. The choice is
yours.
The First annotated citation will be on the Topic of the “Legal
and Ethical Dimensions of the Use of Information.” This
information can be obtained from the Internet using a search
engine such as ONE SEARCH on the CSUN Oviatt Library
Home page, or Google. The annotated citation should be in
APA format as much as possible, and should include the URL
(address) of the of the Internet site; or a citation of the book
or article if that was used. The annotation should provide
a short overview of the article and/or list the most critical
points. Please note that the subject of this article need not
be associated with language Development. It only needs to
address information delivery.
The second two of these citations will be full Text articles or
books obtained through Databases of professional books and
journals available at, or online through the CSUN Library. For
more information on how to find these databases please see
the discussion in the Class Requirements Section Online.
These citations will be reported in APA format. Included in
the annotation portion of each citation will be a paragraph,
which briefly summarizes the article (you can usually get
this information from the abstract), and answers following
questions:
1. What is the background (authority) of the author (viz.,
degree and type of education, affiliated institution, history
of research in the area as perhaps reflected by past
articles in the bibliography)?
2. Who is the intended audience (i.e., professionals,
laypersons, women etc.)?
3. How does this work compare or contrast with others
you may have cited or be aware of? If you are not aware
of any others, simply state that as the situation.
4. What is the scope and relevance of this work to the
selected topic (hypothesis)? What the heck do I mean
by that? Well, is it highly or only vaguely relevant to the
hypothesis; and is it of minor or major importance.
The Last Two citations will be obtained through the Internet
using any search engines provided online such as “Google
Scholar.” These citations will follow an APA format as closely
as possible, including the URL information. Included in each
citation will be a paragraph, which briefly summarizes the
site, and addresses the following questions related to, for the
purpose of this exercise, the voracity of the Website:
1. Is the site owner/manager’s identity available and is it
associated with a reputable organization, company or
educational institution?
2. What is the background (authority) of the author (viz.,
degree and type of education, affiliated institution, history
of research in the area as perhaps reflected by past
articles in the site bibliography. If this information is not
available, simply state that fact.)
3. What is the level of objectivity? For example, are there
advertisements on the site related in anyway to the
topic?
4. Is the Website current? Cues to the contrary, for
example, include broken or expired links and/or no
posting date or updated notations.
5. Is the information correct; error free, verifiable, and/or
backed by full citations?
This annotated bibliography should be submitted as an attachment
to an email message to the instructor, and as a back up measure, by
being copied and pasted directly into the same email message body.
