Literature Review - Finding the Resources

To effectively locate the resources for your literature review, you need to develop a search strategy to carefully plan how you will look for these resources. A search strategy helps you to:

• Articulate your research topic & research question
• Remain consistent in your search from one search tool to the next
• Find a large amount of relevant information
• Save time and energy in the long run
