See the Programs of Research – Library Companion Guides Resource for databases that are most appropriate to your discipline. You will need to find a minimum of five relevant articles. Keep track of your search strategy and use the articles you find to complete an initial literature review on your research topic.

Review the Writing a Literature Review media piece, linked in the resources, to understand the scope of the Literature Review overall.
Be sure to use the resources provided, to help you with your search. Review the Literature Review Scoring Guide to ensure that you have addressed all of the grading criteria. Review the assignment due date information provided in both the Syllabus and the Faculty Expectations discussion to effectively plan your time. Post your Literature Review in the assignment area.
