Literature Reviews: A Research Guide

This guide offers information on what a literature review is, how to go about conducting one, and links to library resources that will help you with the process.

Managing your research and references

Programs such as Zotero or EndNote can help you create in-text citations and bibliographies in a style such as APA, MLA, Chicago, etc. Most of these tools can do much more than that, however. They can also help keep all your literature by creating a database where you can sort articles into folders related to your project, assign keyword tags, and attach and even highlight the PDFs. Zotero is free, and EndNote can be purchased with an educational discount through the bookstore ($150 plus GST). 

*NOTE: We no longer recommend Mendeley as there are difficulties with integrating its Word plug-in with the UofC's Office 365 licence.
