Welcome to the Writing a Literature Review Wiki!

This wiki contains resources to help you research and write a literature review for a class. It is updated frequently, so check back often for more tips and resources.

If you need to view samples of literature reviews from other Alverno College students take a look at the action research papers in the library's general collection. All of these spiral bound items have a literature review section. You can find them on the ground floor of the library stacks. They all have call numbers starting with 001.4.

The library also has great books with information on how to write a literature review.
