Literature search process.
Often you don't know what you don't know. Need to identify the boundaries of common knowledge. Is there much debate on a subject or is there a general consensus.
Choose topic, adapt search, evaluate, identify topics, choose topic, repeat...
Emerging topics have less academic content.
Can the topic be broken down into smaller areas ?
Effective searching yields better results, the process is much more controllable than just a keyword search.
Library resources are all single sign on except one which has ip restricted access to campus pcs.
Why is it better to use academic research? It's been peer reviewed, evaluated, proven to some extent.
Bad points time to get published can be years, this reduces the relevance of the content if it is a rapidly developing area.
