workshop that is regularly presented to end-users in the CSIR. The workshop
teaches users the principles of effective literature searching, focussing
on:

1. The stages of a literature survey

• Tactical overview, i.e. questions that need to be answered before
you start with the survey

• Resource selection

• Search strategy formulation

• The search

• Evaluating results

2. Citations and reference style, e.g. how to cite an electronic
source.

This will not be a hands-on session but rather a sharing of ideas and
experience.
