Doing a Literature Search provides a practical and comprehensive guide to searching the literature on any topic within the social sciences. The book will enable you to search the literature effectively, identifying useful books, articles, statistics and many other sources of information.  

Split into three parts, Doing a Literature Search takes you through the process step-by-step:

• Part 1 introduces the literature search, talking you through the organisation, planning and searching steps
• Part 2 explores literature types, giving you an overview of materials you can use and how to find them
• Part 3 takes you a step further, demonstrating advanced searching techniques along with using the internet.

Whether you’re looking to do a quick (indicative) literature search, or carry out a comprehensive search of literature, this handy guide gives you the tools and structure to undertake successful research.
