Literature Review What is it?
Survey of sources, scholarly articles, government docs, books,
dissertations, conference proceedings…
Overview of significant literature on a topic often limited to a
specific time period
Scientific Literature Review
What is it not? An academic research paper which is
most often constructed as an argument and the information you are seeking is to support said argument
An annotated bibliography as most bibliographies contain sources found
and often read but not cited in the text
What is it? Whatever your professors tell
you they want!Bates College Department of BiologyUniversity Library, UC Santa Cruz
Medical Sciences Divsion of University of Oxford
Systematic Literature Review
Choose a topic, broad is okay Do your background research Identify key words and phrases to
aid in searching Books Professor Librarian
How to begin
So what next?
• Start big doing background reading• Look for patterns• Look at reference sources, your
textbooks, LC subject heading list, subject headings in research tools to establish a controlled vocabulary Ask a librarian
• Look at thesaurus in the research tools such MeSH for Medline or CINAHL Headings (CH)
Google and Wikipedia aren’t intrinsically evil, just use them for the correct purpose in your research.

Internet Tools
Critically analyzing web sources
What? is the page/site about Who? created and maintains this site Where? Is the information coming from Why? Is the information presented on the
web When? Was the page created or last

Things to Remember
Facets are your Friend: After you search, limit your results to what you really want
A tool not a solution: This is not the solution to everything
Ask the librarians for help There will still be some small
changes coming

•Looks in several locations (usually subject, article title, abstracts or contents)•Does not require an exact match•Generates comparatively large number of hits (not precise)•Good if you are not familiar with terminology•Look for the same or similar words which keep appearing
Find a Book∞POLAR
•Looks in one place – subject•Usually requires an exact match between your term and a pre-set list of terms•Precise•Can be used after keyword search has identified specific subjects•Click on the “Find Similar Items” link found on each item record

ISI Science Citation Index
Databases
You can cut and paste from most any source, so just fill in all the lines you can. ISSN is the unique number every periodical is assigned so it’s great if you can include that in your request. Be sure to only use the print ISSN, not the on-line ISSN.

So when you find a book in WorldCat, the easiest way to find out if we have it is to click on "Search the catalog at OhioLINK" because it will flip you into POLAR and then you can access OhioLINK from there."Find a copy" flips you into the OhioLINK collection and then you have to see if HMML has a copy because you can't request something through OhioLINK that we have.Play with it and find out how it best works for you. If neither POLAR or OhioLINK have it, the next stop is ILL.We're out of 10 digit numbers so you'll begin to see 13 digits in many bib records. Remember each edition has a different number so check to make sure you get the right isbn according to the binding you are searching for.
