I have always been familiar with what an annotated bibliography is because we have talked about it all through grade school and in different classes. After watching the video and looking over the web page I found out more detailed information about the annotated bibliography and learned new things about it. An annotated bibliography is the combination of a bibliography and of an annotation. A bibliography is a list of sources that someone uses while researching a topic. An annotation is a summary. When you combine the two words together, an annotated bibliography is a summary of sources. In this class, Mrs. Pashia is requiring us to write an annotated bibliography because it forces us to do our research early and not wait last minute. This will be good experience for us students, and should also prepare us for our papers and get good grades. This forces us to research as many sources as topic and this will allow us to have a wide range of sources and references in our research papers.

Today in class we had a speaker come in and talk to us about what special collections is and she explained different examples of a special collection to us. Special collections is found usually within a library, and at UWG the special collections can be found on the first floor of the library. Special collections is the department that stores specific items such as, rare books, archives, manuscripts, etc. These items that are in Special collections are usually fragile, and they need to be taken proper care of. We also talked about what a primary source is and then we went around the room and all gave an example of a primary source that we personally have. Primary sources are an original source. For example, my Grandpa died when I was a baby, so I never got the chance to really know him or learn about him. I have a picture of him from the yearI died and I have kept on to it all these years later because it is all I have left of him. This is an example of a primary source. Other examples could be letters written to you from years ago, or old video, or scrapbooks. Special Collections and Primary sources could be helpful in a research project if you are doing a project on your family or if you are trying to find background information. Some questions could be answered such as, "Where did my family come from?" or "What did my Grandpa look like before he died?"
