Introduction to Literature Searching for your Biological Sciences dissertation or project (Part II)
Need to find scientific litertaure and resources for your Part II dissertation or project? We've got you covered.
In this session, we will introduce you to breaking down your research question, developing your keywords or vocabulary for what you want to search for, before putting it all together using tried and tested techniques to get the best results quickly. We'll show you where to find relevant and reliable resources, how to navigate pesky paywalls and even how to hack Google...legally of course!
If you can't make our live sessions, everything we talk about (and a little bit more) is covered in our self-guided online course.
Want something a bit more advanced? Check out our Going further with your literature searching for your Biological Sciences dissertation or project workshop which will show more detailed searching, demonstrate how the reference manager Zotero can help you at Part II, as well as leaving lots of time for questions and troubleshooting.
