- The Literature Review Fall 2005 HLTH 681 Contact Patricia Alford, D.V.M., M.S., palford@tamu.edu Google, Amazon, and other information sources on the World Wide Web have raised expectations that a literature review can be accomplished with “One-stop shopping”. In library lingo, a so-called “Federated search” will retrieve the desired information, whether it’s in a book, journal article, or government web site, by using a single search interface. This hypothetical search interface is linked to the catalogs of all the participating libraries, as well as to hundreds of databases that index the articles contained in thousands of electronic journal archives, AND to search engines that index millions of web pages. However, although federated searching of multiple catalogs and databases is already available, it is not recommended as a sound strategy for doing a thorough literature review. At present, because of the marked difference between the way in which books are cataloged and the way in which journal articles are indexed, federated searching is unlikely to retrieve the desired results.
