This guide introduces students to the task of conducting a literature review in the earth sciences. It covers six steps, beginning with a keyword search on the internet, a search of bibliographic databases, and extensive reading of recent literature. Concluding steps consist of an examination of popular literature (newspapers, popular science reviews, and societal review publications), return visits to the library, and direct communication with researchers in the field.
