title: Searching the literature creatively: updating your skills in reviewing the literature.
abstract: Reviewing the literature is not only an essential aspect of research, it can be a creative process. Computerized searches decrease the hours that searches formerly took and allow the researcher to link concepts in ways that were previously difficult to do. Be consistent with your approach to reviewing the literature and your reward will be a comprehensive overview of the extant literature--an excellent start to validating your research project.
