We will be doing a number of activities that will get you started on your literature reviews and that will set you up for managing your projects.

Background information answers questions that elicit more information such as What, Why, How. Check out the different links to secondary sources that answer these questions.
This refers to information and research that is created and published by entities whose main business is not publishing. For example, government departments, health authorities, universities etc.
Validation studies of tests, measures, or surveys can provide valuable background information. Another useful tip is to find which research projects have used a similar tool to the one you will be using. See the following tutorials to learn the search methods in the different databases for finding these.
