Our guide and e-learning module are designed to help you understand and undertake effective searching for literature reviews
An effective literature review is always built on the foundation of a high quality literature search, one that is comprehensive and systematic. And for any new project, a literature search is a crucial early step in the research process.
Finding some literature on a question is usually easy; finding the right literature, and all of the most relevant literature for a solid literature review, is harder.
Through explanatory notes and practical, step-by-step guidance, we aim to help you understand how to effectively plan and carry out your literature searches. The guide is available to read on LibGuides and as an online e-learning module.
Feedback from the community
Your Guide is simply superb. Many thanks for a great resource which I will be promoting with advanced stage degree students in food science agriculture and veterinary medicine here in UCD. It is the best guide I have come across in some time so many thanks for this "Toolkit". This will be invaluable for UCD - Students, those new to research, and those who need a refresher in literature searching.
