Annotated Bibliography in MLA Style

I'm not sure if entrepreneurship can have it's own standard citation style but I looked it up and it said it was MLA. So I've included the MLA bibliography for all six sources. I used the "Annotated Bibliography" in the Student's Guide as an example.

#1
Buford, Bob. "Peter Drucker An Amazing Grasp Of Context." Leader To Leader 2015.75 (2015): 7-11.Academic Search Complete. Web. 17 July 2015.
  • I think this is a really valuable source because it has a lot of content from Peter Drucker, who is one of the biggest names in entrepreneurship
  • This gives insight into the role of a mentor, which is a big theme in entrepreneurship
#2
