Abstract

This workbook guides graduate students through the literature review process for a research course, dissertation, thesis, or publication.

In addition to building research skills, this workbook addresses the emotional journey of research by connecting students to their personal motivation as well as providing suggestions for building support systems (including faculty, librarians, friends, and the students themselves).
