In order to present a valuable, coherent, complete and accurate literature review, you must have read numerous articles, or else you will not really know what is already known (studied and published) and what is missing. This voluminous reading will inform you as to what knowledge there is already available (making you an “expert” in this area). New publications are being released daily, so you may want to even set up an RSS feed (RSS = Rich Site Summary) allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in) on your topic, linked by your key terms. Contact the library to help you get started if you think this would be valuable.
