Literature Review: The What, Why and How-to Guide — Getting Started

Welcome to UConn Library's Lit Review guide! The purpose of this guide is to help you understand what literature reviews are and the process of writing them in the social sciences, humanities and sciences. This guide will give you tips and point you to other sites with in-depth explanation on how to write literature reviews. If you still have questions, feel free to contact a subject specialist!
