Literature reviews for an undergraduate thesis are usually more in-depth than ones for a regular assignment. In order to confidently position your own research within the ongoing scholarly conversation, you will need to develop a focused and systematic search strategy (often in multiple databases). In this workshop, we will explore the benefits of using discipline-specific databases and look at techniques that will make your searches more effective by balancing precision and sensitivity.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Develop clearly defined search concepts,
- Build searches using truncation and proximity,
- Incorporate subject headings into your search strategy,
- Create database accounts and save your searches.
