What is a literature review A literature review is NOT.docxphilipnelson29183
What is a literature review?
A literature review is NOT a book review; it is a review of the literature. THE literature, in this
case, means all of the research you have collected. Your secondary sources only. The
scholarship.
So, why am I doing this?
Because good researchers—good writers—do it. You may be tempted to just jump directly from
gathering materials to writing an essay (or you may have been tempted to skip the research part
altogether); however, before you can write an essay, you need to identify a purpose for your
writing and develop a plan for using your sources. You need to synthesize; the lit review is that
synthesis. This is also an important step in proving your expertise before I allow you to edit and
annotate a fairy tale.
So, what am I looking for?
Basically, you are looking for patterns of association; you want to look at the body of scholarship
(the literature) you have collected and decide how it all works together. You need to see the
literature as a body of research rather than separate pieces. The scholarship is written by real
scholars who are familiar with one another’s work and sometimes know each other personally; it
is a kind of elaborate conversation. You are listening to that conversation, waiting for a good
opportunity to jump in.
So, I have six pieces of literature to review, right?
Well, you have AT LEAST six pieces. It will actually be easier to write a lit review of more
sources; eight or ten sources would be a good number. This does require more research and more
time for reading, but the payoff is greater expertise and more to discuss in the review.
Okay, so what do I do first?
First, make sure you have gathered the literature. For this assignment, I am only permitting you
to use the CSCC Library databases to gather your sources. Specifically, you will look at the
Academic Search Complete, MLA International Bibliography, and Literary Reference Center
databases; if these don’t turn up 6-10 good sources for you, then you can search other databases
(and I have posted a video showing you how to do this research, so make sure you watch it). You
are NOT permitted to locate web based sources, even via Google scholar. And I am asking you
not to use books, simply to save time.
And then?
Once you have all of the literature, you should read it and understand it. It isn’t absolutely
necessary to pore over each page of each source—this would likely be hundreds of pages of
difficult reading. Use your reading skills—the first two or three pages usually contain the thesis
and main arguments—the last couple of pages will often contain some kind of summary or
conclusion. Look for important headings in between. I strongly suggest highlighting the thesis
(probably more than a single sentence) and the main points (topic sentences) and any interesting
passages you may want to reference later.
But how do I write the lit review?
You should begin by grou.

History (ALL CLASSES)
CRITIQUE AND REVIEW SHEET:
This is formal writing so remember a few tips:
1. Grammar/Spell Check all work. Rule of 5 is: more than 5 major grammatical or spelling
errors and I am done grading, you fail the assignment. Helpful hint: read finished document
aloud, or have someone read it to you. It will help you spot problems I promise!
2. No 1st person. "I believe that. . ." No use of "I" statements.
3. No questions. Do not write in such a way that you are asking your reader (your professor- ie
ME) questions.
4. All quotations, thoughts, and ideas gathered from another source should be cited. All cites should be either Chicago Style or Turabian Style and have EITHER footnotes or endnotes, AND a bibliography.
5. Writing should be clear, concise, and on topic. It should address the following elements in an
essay style format:
Secondary Source Analysis:
Critiques and Reviews should always address these elements.
Synopsis: Summary of what you have read, making sure you hit the highlights and points that
struck you as important or interesting so that you will remember what you have read. This element should be very brief- do not get carried away.
Facts: What struck you in the argument as particularly useful/not useful? Highlight your topic points- use quotations to prove your point, be very specific so you will not need to return to the author's sources or the text.
Thesis: Ask yourself, what did I just read? What was it about? What was the argument or
position, what did they say? Each chapter of the book will normally have a supporting thesis,
please make sure you address these as well.
Author: How does the author/s identify themselves? How does this identification relate to the
material? Who is this person? Remember there is NO such thing as a neutral author.
Position: What is the position within scholarly literature? What position do they take? Do they seem similar to someone else you have read? Where do they stand on the issues? What identifiers can you find? Can you determine bias?
Critique: Who is the audience? What is the purpose of the work? Did the author accomplish
what s/he set out to do? What is their goal?
Sources: Examine the author's use of sources? When is the study done and does this have any bearing on the topic? Do the sources reflect recent scholarship? Is the author relying on primary sources or secondary sources? What does the type of sources say about the author and the work? You will need to look at the bibliography, footnotes/endnotes, and the introduction and conclusion carefully to answer this.
DOC SUPPORT: Which primary documents provided support/disprove the author’s thesis?
Primary Source Analysis:
A primary source is any document, letter, newspaper article, photo, drawing, object, etc. from a specific historical moment. It is something by and for the people at that time. A first-hand source from that time and place.
This assignment is approximately a 2 page write up. ...

1. CITING
WITH MLA
PART 1: AN INTRODUCTION
ML A 7 T H EDITIO N
ST. TH O MAS U N IVERSITY L IBRARY
2. WHAT IS MLA STYLE?
MLA is short for Modern Language Association.
The MLA Handbook is the preferred style manual
and guide for writing in the Humanities, especially
in English and Literature courses.
3. WHY DO I NEED TO
USE IT?
To prevent PLAGIARISM!!!
What is plagiarism?
• When you take information from a source without
giving credit to the creator/writer.
• Plagiarism is a form of stealing!
4. WHAT HAPPENS IF
YOU PLAGIARIZE?
From the STU Student Handbook…
Plagiarism is intentionally or unintentionally representing the
words or ideas of another as one's own in any academic
exercise.
Examples of plagiarism include but are not limited to:
a. Presenting assignments, such as course preparations, examinations, tests, projects, and
term papers, which are not original work of the student. Original work of the student may
include thoughts, ideas, and words of another author only if their source is acknowledged
using normally accepted standards.
b. Using information from printed/video/audio materials produced by others and presenting
it as your own.
c. Altering thoughts or writing of others to make them appear as one’s own. Purchasing,
rewriting, or stealing a paper and making it look as if it were your own.
If the student is found to be guilty of academic dishonesty sufficient in magnitude to
result in expulsion from the university, a record of the incident will be placed in the
student's academic record in the Office of Records, Registration and Academic
Computing by the Dean.
5. HOW DO I USE MLA?
Start by becoming familiar with some of the basic
requirements.
Take a look at the MLA Handbook.
Use the MLA guides linked on the library homepage.
Learn to cite your sources the moment you
quote/paraphrase/or summarize information in your paper.
And learn how to document sources on your Works Cited
page.
6. GETTING STARTED
WITH MLA
The rest of this series will show you how to…
1. Know when you cite your sources and how to
2. Cite three of the most common source types:
• Books
• Articles
• and Websites
8. HOW DO I KNOW
WHEN TO CITE?
If you…
• Quote
• Paraphrase
• or Summarize information from a source
YOU MUST CITE IT!
9. WHAT’S THE
DIFFERENCE?
Quotes
A quote is a statement
that is written word-for-
word.
It is identical to the
statement in the
original source and
must ALWAYS be
cited.
Paraphrasing/Summarizing
When you restate information
from a source in your own
words, you are
paraphrasing.
When you give an overview of
an entire paragraph, section,
or book (think big), you are
summarizing.
Always cite when
paraphrasing or
summarizing!

Despite the proliferation of

Sanchez holds that “The very first

Editor's Notes
Comment on bullet 1: It’s a form of academic dishonesty and can get you in plenty of trouble with the University.Comment on 2: You are stealing someone’s words/images/ideas when you don’t cite your sources properly. In other words, you are taking someone intellectual property and passing it off as your own.
But this is not a comprehensive guide and each source is unique. Be sure to check out the MLA Handbook or meet with a librarian if you need extra help with citing your sources.
A good rule of thumb: If you had to read it to learn it, you should cite it!
Comment on section 2:Paraphrasing means restating an idea, summarizing means condensing a lot of information into a few sentences.
When you cite your sources, both print and electronic (ebooks) need to be cited.A citation that is integrated into the text introduces the writer or source in the sentence itself, for instance:Because the creator is cited in the sentence, you only need to include the page or paragraph number in a parenthetical citation.In the example, the part highlighted in blue serves to introduce the quote and source being cited.If you prefer not to mention the creator in the text, you can include the name of the writer, editor, or organization that authored the book in a parenthetical citation.Example.
The section in blue tells the reader that this is a book. It provides the author’s name, the title of the book, and information on the place of publication, publisher, and publication year.However, because this is an e-book, the section in red shows tells the reader that it came from the library’s EBSCO ebook collection, and was accessed on the web on May 10 2013.Needless to say, this would be in plain black text on an actual works cited page.
The section highlighted in blue documents the original source, while the part in red tells the reader that the work can be downloaded from the Literature Resource Database and was last accessed on the web on May 10 2013.
When quoting or paraphrasing information from a website, you will have to count and cite the paragraph where you found the text being cited.
The part in blue tells me the name of the author of the website, the title of the page in quotations, followed by the name of the website in italics. The section in red tells the reader the name of the website sponsor, in this case the UF Interactive Media Lab, and the last update, as well as where and when the site was accessed – on the web on may 10.
