Review of #17: "Using Bullet Points and Lists" by Catherine Hibbard

This article begins with a brief abstract, then discusses the differences between bulleted lists and numbered lists. It then continues to discuss the implications and benefits of both and finally concludes by citing some general rules for making effective bulleted and numbered lists.



"Using Bullet Points and Lists" would be helpful for those individuals looking for a clear, concise guide to organizing listed information. It might be useful for students making Powerpoint presentations or other multimedia. Because of its simple language, this is probably not an article to use in substitute of a scholarly journal. It does not contain any research, rather some general guidelines for usage with practical examples. These examples may be helpful for learners that are more visual.



Although this article is written at an somewhat of an elementary level, its information remains pertinent and valuable to anyone using bulleted and numbered lists in information design.
