Dissertation Literature Review: Useful databases

Also explore your results page for ways to limit your search by date, see what subjects were used or cite the article.

One great use for Google Scholar is to take an important article/book on your topic and look at the "Cited by" count for info on later scholars who have built on the initial work.

Take a look at other dissertations' literature reviews to get a sense of what other scholars have identified as major themes and prominent authors.
