How to Conduct a Literature Review

This workshop will explain what faculty mean when they say “conduct a literature review.” 

Participants will learn:

  • What a literature review is and why researchers need to complete them along with some differences across disciplines. 
  • How to select the best search tools including a brief discussion of AI tools. 
  • How to build an effective search strategy. 
  • Methods for organizing and synthesizing search results.  
  • Who is this session for?

    This session is for Summer Research Assistants. No prior experience is necessary. Basic understanding of academic library research is helpful, but not necessary. Lunch will be provided during the session.
