Blog Post #2: The Literature Review

Our current assignment is to complete a literature review for our research topic. I must admit that I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I have actually had experience with completing a literature review in Graduate School for my Master's Thesis. However, this time it seems to be a bit more difficult to locate research to support and substantiate my research topic. I received some great feedback and resources from Dr. Reeves regarding locating research articles. In addition, I was also able to schedule a one-on-one session with a Librarian. With the librarians assistance, I was able to locate more specific articles that are pertinent to my research topic. Very pleased with the results and hopeful for a great literature review.

Wanted to share a link for any other students that need additional assistance from a Librarian. Just follow the link to schedule an appointment:
