The first stage to do a literature search would be to :

  • A.Read introductory textbooks
  • B.Do a literature search online
  • C.Ask teacher to give some articles
  • D.Order inter-library loan

Answer: A

The first stage would be to read introductory textbooks.

Before searching for research articles, the researcher needs a general understanding of the topic: its main concepts, terms, theories and key authors. Introductory textbooks provide that background and help in choosing the keywords and the scope for the actual search.

An online database search, asking a teacher for articles and ordering inter-library loans all come later, once the researcher knows what to look for.
