Total Quality Management Underpins Information Quality Management
Journal articles to be used for the annotated bibliography can be found in the library system through ProQuest database. Each student is to choose one (1) article to analyse and prepare an annotated bibliography for that article. You need to choose an article that relates to the topic your group is presenting for Assessment Item 3. All members of the group must choose a different article to review.
In preparing your annotated bibliography you should include the following :
• Full bibliographic citation in APA format
• Indicate the context of the text;
• Outline the main argument;
• Point out in what way the text relates to concepts in this course; and
• Identify the strengths and limitations of the text.
