I read Seth Bakes’ annotated bibliography. He’s major is Computer Science related so that he defines his discipline very technical. The problem he found is the website for Co-op search. Although I’m also in College of Computer and Information Science, my major is Information science which is less tech than CS major. He found out that the website has a poor user interface and poor navigation for the user. The resources he found are also very technical which can be hard to understand if the reader doesn’t have any experience in website design.
The way that he uses tags in XML is similar with mine but he has only one field for his background, summary and relevance. I made my tags in more details. If read XML file only, Seth’s file is easier and cleaner than mine which makes me think if it’s better. The citations are different than mine, I used APA for my citation style while he uses MLA style.
This comparison helps me know how other students write their annotation. If I have a chance to make some changes to my own annotation, I would find a resource for methodology. In my case, I found the problem of parking, however, all my resources are topically related. I didn’t use methodology resource but I had some examples from other city solving this problem. I think I should find some article about city planning.
