Sample annotation:

"Steam Turbine." //DisCovering Science//. Online ed. Gale, 2003. //Discovering// //Collection//. Web. 28 Oct. 2009. I found this article by going into the ICONN database //Discovering Collection.// I used the keyword steam turbine** to get this article. There was no author listed, but the article came from the Discovering Science database, so it should be reliable information. The article gave facts about the steam engine as far back as the 1600s as well as information about how it works. It included an illustration of the first steam engine. The information about how it worked was a bit technical and hard to understand, but the main facts were helpful. I will use this information in the background section of my project.
