- An annotation is a note that is made while reading any form of text. This can be as simple as underlined or highlighted passages. Annotated bibliographies give descriptions about how each source is useful to an author in constructing a paper or argument. Creating these comments, usually a few sentences long, establishes a summary for and expresses the relevance of each source prior to writing. The term also has a special meaning in a number of other fields.

- QUOTE: An annotation is a critical, descriptive or explanatory note added to a text. The concept of annotation is mostly known in Library and Information Science (LIS) from annotated bibliographies, which contain summaries of the key points addressed in the sources, a description of the kind of sources or an evaluation of the source. (The opposite of an annotated bibliography is a naked bibliography).

- QUOTE: This article describes the importance of annotation to reading and writing practices and reviews new technologies that complicate the ways annotation can be used to support and enhance traditional reading, writing, and collaboration processes. Important directions for future research are discussed, with emphasis on studying how professionals read and annotate, how readers might use annotations that have been produced by others, and how the interface of an annotation program affects collaboration and communication on revision. In each area, the authors emphasize issues and methods that will be productive for enhancing theories of workplace and classroom communication as well as implications for the optimal design of annotation technologies.

- QUOTE: A spirited study of a neglected topic, these essays explore the character and uses of annotation from Biblical times to the present. A group of distinguished scholars investigates such subjects as the bullying footnote, the play of note against text, the self-annotation of the Bible, the parasitical commentator, the note as imperial seal, the agonies of modern scholarly publication, the hidden marginalium, and the ways in which supplements to the text tend to push aside the text. Casting light on a matter which readers usually ignore, this witty, readable, and revisionist book offers a provocative invitation for further discussion.
- QUOTE: "Where does a text stop, and a footnote begin? When is footnoting a critical activity? When is it a political activity? Is any text unannotatable ..."
