Exploring Information Resources for Literature Reviews

In this seminar you will learn the intent of a literature review and how to synthesis, organize and locate relevant and reliable sources. This seminar will provide a solid foundation for your thesis and dissertation work.

In the first hour we'll cover the purpose of a literature review and locate web and library resources that will aid you in building a well-researched literature review. In the second hour we'll explore citation managers and automatic alerts, which will keep you organized and up-to-date. (More information)

RefWorks
RefWorks, a web-based citation management program, can change the way you do your research. It can save you a good deal of time and prevent headaches by keeping track of sources you use for research, including articles, books, web pages, etc. But best of all it can be used to create bibliographies for you automatically, in whatever style you need! Come to our session to learn how to set-up a RefWorks account, how to get article information from the ASU Libraries Catalog and article indexes (research databases), and how to use Write-N-Cite, a plug-in that allows you to cite references in a Microsoft Word document with the click of a button.
Beginning Library Research
Writing a paper and you can’t use Wikipedia? We’ll show you how to find the sources your professors expect you to use.
Advanced Library Research
Writing a paper and you need to take your research to the next level? Time to work with your research expert. Make an appointment with your subject librarian today!
Citing Sources: MLA, APA and More
Can’t figure out how to cite that quote? Having trouble with your bibliography? We’ll walk you through the steps of formatting your paper.
