The literature review forms a substantial part of your postgraduate thesis and is also an ongoing process. Through clear examples, individual exercises, and group discussion, this workshop gets you started with your review. You will also receive guidance from the Library's Research Support team to help you with your literature searching.

Learning outcomes

By the end of the workshop you will:

• Understand the purpose of the literature review and the process behind it
• Have developed your research questions and identified keywords
• Have discovered the tools available for your literature search and techniques for effective notetaking

Target audience

Postgraduate researchers in the early stages from any Arts and Humanities or Social Science discipline.

Workshop feedback

• "Lots of practical resources and good explanations on how to use them"
