Your Literature? Does it work for you? Will it save you when you need it?

Thank You for coming

We will start in just a moment

Your : Is it working for you? Will it save you when you need it?

What is “Your Literature?”

What is the Review?

What works?

What doesn’t work?

Times Your Lit Will Save You

1. When you need to make a

statement that is stronger

than your academic level

allows

2. When you need to establish

your expertise in your field

(after findings to tie your

work into the work in your

field)

3. When you don’t have data

but you need to back up a

claim you are making in an

argument

4. When you are discussing

seminal ideas tied back to

those who developed them

Times Your Lit Won’t Save You

1.When the counter

argument has deeper data

behind it (Data trumps

lit)

2.When your argument is

not well crafted (lit out

of context is useless)

3.When you lit is old and

newer studies have

different opinions

Styles of Use

1. you write what you need and then put a group citation at the end that lists all the various works which added up to those ideas

2. any one point for whom a particular author is known is cited in a way that makes that author clear (ie multiple works by that author etc)

Creating Magic With Your Lit

1. Organize the thoughts

within the work you

read in a way that aids

your comprehension.

IE by importance, by

topic, etc and keep

those notes in your

bibliographic software

2. Discuss the ideas with

friends – keep track of

which come up as you

are talking naturally –

review their main

points, craft

arguments using their

ideas

3. Practice, practice

practice
