Internet Bookmark Collection, please consider the following questions:
-
Who is the author of the website (either individual or organization)?
-
What is the main purpose or goal of the website?
-
Why are you recommending this website?
-
What is especially noteworthy about this website?
-
What features are especially useful for LCC Students?
-
Does the website make a unique contribution to its subject area?
If so, what is this?
-
Does the website highlight a local resource? If so please emphasize this in your annotation.

A couple examples of fairly well-written annotations follow:

environmental careers and to help students of environmental
studies to find employment in their chosen field. The website
contains current listings for the paid internships which ECO
coordinates throughout the USA.

The website offers descriptions of worldwide travel destinations
as well as information about practical travel issues. Features an
excellent traveler's bulletin board.
