Literature searches are a key component of publishing research. Come learn efficient strategies to conduct searches that can save you hours of time and lots of frustration. We will cover search strategies, methods, and the appropriate databases for use in different subject areas. We will also discuss the nuts and bolts of literature searching: using filters, database fields, Boolean operators, truncation, and citation analysis.
