Workshop Description

This workshop is appropriate for students conducting literature reviews in Engineering, Forestry, Health Science, Land & Food Systems, and Science.

Topics include:

  • What is a literature review?
  • Finding the right databases
  • Search strategies for databases

  • Engineering & Sciences
