The CDOT library has the resources to help you with your research. This guide provides information on how to start or request a literature search/literature review. The library has a number of options for staff:
A literature search seeks to confirm what is known about a particular topic, and a literature review uses the literature search to help to clarify the scope of the research project.
To request a Literature Search/Review complete this form. The librarian will then contact you for a brief intake meeting and begin the process.
This guide is based on Transportation Research Circular Number E-C194: Literature Searches and Literature Reviews for Transportation Research Projects: How to Search, Where to Search, and How to Put it All Together.
View the circular in its entirety for a full picture of the literature search and literature review processes.
