Country Website Project: Requirements
Added requirements December 2, 2012
Sources: The bibliography should be annotated - basically it means you describe how and where you used a particular source. Click here to see how an annotation is done in MLA format. Generally when doing an annotated bibliography you summarize the main points of the book or paper that used in your work.

In this case, your annotation should be two-three sentences and follow this format: First sentence: summarize the Website/source. Second sentence: explain how and where you used Website/source on your county website.
Citing the CIA World FactBook in MLA style.
