Abstract

This paper describes several techniques for using computers to assist with literature reviews. It identifies various literature review tasks, then discusses how existing programs can be used to address them. Programs discussed include word processors, qualitative analysis programs, content analysis programs, file management systems, database management systems, spreadsheets, and statistical programs. The paper concludes that judicious use of existing programs offers a powerful means to transform the literature review from a burdensome task resulting in a quickly outdated product to a more manageable task producing a product that is flexible, cumulative, and better able to cope with the rapid growth of knowledge.
