In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to get started creating a Literature Review or environmental scan, including:

- What Literature Reviews are, and where to find them
- How to use concept mapping to identify secondary sources
- When and how to use Generative AI tools
- Advanced tips and strategies for searching library databases
- How to find and organize your sources to facilitate your writing
