What if you could consult with genealogical experts each time your work slows? Together you could explore options for new paths of discovery. The right approach to a literature review allows you to do that. Other experts have encountered the same challenges that you do, and they have written about them even if not overtly. These challenges could range from beginning work in a new geography to parrying with a difficult brick wall. Learn how to conduct a targeted literature review, cull the information you need, and advance your research. A case study on the use of the FAN Club will highlight the methodology.

Wow! Part way through I realized I do this but it's chaotic. This is teaching a methodical approach. The results will be more efficient and more likely to advance the research. Thank you.
Great presentation! Excellent reminders, steps and tips. Thank you.
This terrific presentation has really stretched my mind about ways to find resources for and additional approaches to my most challenging research questions. I support the need for much fuller search capabilities in the NGSQ and other publications and resources.
Very informative about forming the topic for a literature search when stuck on a search problem!
Wow! This was spectacular! So much to absorb. I'll be watching this again and again. Thanks.
What an excellent experience. From the presentation, the handout, form included, to the audience participation, it was wonderful! I only wish that participants' wonderful answers were available in the chat, Geoff.
Great presentation. Very logical and methodical and easy to follow.
That advanced my research exponentially!
