Discussion: Literature Review Article Search
Finding literature related to your research topic can be challenging. Earlier researchers were required to manually search for hours through journals in multiple libraries to find appropriate resources. Today, electronic libraries such as Walden University’s can provide access to scholarly documents within minutes.
In this Discussion, you will search for literature on your research topic using the Walden Library. The keywords, Boolean operators, and databases that you choose make a difference in the literature that you find, so use a variety and be creative with your searches. You will also locate potential funding sources for your research project.
