A quick thread about how I approach a literature review when I am unfamiliar with the topic. Note: There are several ways to do this and my way is not the only way nor the only right way. If you have alternate approaches please share! I love hearing how people approach writing.

Be careful out there, @penn_state! And remember that even when we’re closed, we’re here to help. Our “Ask a Librarian” service and other online resources are just a keystroke away.

Reading through the comments on this reminded me that when I was a school librarian I would anonymously send stuff (carnations, candy canes) to the kids who I knew wouldn't receive anything.
