Have you every wondered when you are “done” with your Literature Review? Have I found everything? Well there are a couple of resources on the Library’s Guides & Tutorials page that can help.
First our Research Guides. We have developed Research Guides for each of the Schools within Capella: Education, Human Services, Psychology, Business and Technology. Have you checked all of the recommended databases in the Resource Guide for your school? That is one way to be certain you are doing a comprehensive Literature Review.
Also a great way to find other resources for your Literature Review is to check the references on the articles you have already located. This is sometimes called Bibliography “mining” or Cited Reference searching. When you start to see the same resources over and over again, it is probably a good indication that you have done a comprehensive search. The Library has developed a guide called Bibliography Mining and Cited Reference Searching that explains this process in more detail. If you have never searched this way before, try it, I think you will find it very productive.
