This literature review can be the basis of a class project for the quantitative methods class or a thesis proposal. The first strategy is to define your topic. I'd strongly suggest that you write up what area you are interested in examining. Give it to me in class, e-mail it to me, fax it to me, whatever. The second important strategy is to start early.
Research takes time.
Books may be checked out. Journals may not be on their shelves or may be housed at another library altogether. Interlibrary loan takes about 2 weeks to send you an article. Once you find one good study it may suggest looking back at another. So you'll have to make a second trip to the library to get more material.
