Do the annotations provide a description of the book, article or document? Do they provide a critical analysis of the source such as their relevancy, accuracy and worthiness of the data?
Locate each of the following items using your information literacy skills. For each item, regardless of type, create a citation in APA 6th format and write a brief paragraph (100 words maximum) that summarizes the resource and identifies how it might be useful to you as you study social entrepreneurship. Put the citations into proper order and formatting according to APA format. See https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/614/03/ for further information regarding Annotated Bibliographies. The skills used for this exercise will be needed throughout this course and the type of information that you acquire is used later in the course.
1) Find a full-text version of “The Social-Entrepreneurship Advantage: An Experimental Study of Social Entrepreneurship and Perceptions of Nonprofit Effectiveness” by Fredrik O. Andersson and William Self using ABI Inform Complete or EbscoHost and cite it. You should be able to find an abstract or summary of the article.
2) Find and cite an article (not peer reviewed) using Chesnutt Library databases that identifies a social entrepreneur. Describe five (5) facts about this social entrepreneur. Note the database(s) accessed in your annotation. This can be done via the FSU website.
3) Find and cite a book about social impact investing OR microfinance that is NOT a textbook. Use the Chesnutt Library online catalog. If it is not in the Chestnutt Library collection, use World Cat to locate it in another library. Note the name of the library where it is located in your annotation. This can be done via the FSU website.
4) Find and cite a peer-reviewed/journal article about Kiva using EbscoHost with only peer reviewed articles and full text defined in the search criteria (advanced search). Provide five (5) facts about Kiva.
5) Search for and visit the website for Ashoka. (Use a public search engine such as Google or Bing.) What is Ashoka? What types of information are available to the public? What information, if any, is restricted?
Remember to cite all of your sources in APA 6th style. You may answer each question and provide a Reference page at the end. Or, you may put each citation with each set of comments to create an annotated bibliography.
