Reviewing literature is surely a key skill for any budding academic, but particularly for students engaged in postgraduate study.
For about four years I have been teaching a research methods course for a number of Masters level humanities students, which gets assessed through a report on a research project of the students’ choice which includes a brief literature review. Over the last two years in particular I have been getting an increasingly large number of annotated bibliographies instead of literature reviews (often referred to as ‘literary reviews’).
The teaching strategies and materials didn’t change over that time period, but clearly students didn’t quite understand the point of using this part of their report to discuss the themes and issues raised in the secondary sources they use.

Exploring information landscapes and bubbles By Andy Burkhardt and Alan Carbery Abstract At Champlain College Library, our information literacy programme is not just about teaching students how to search library databases, or find scholarly articles; it’s about engaging students in critical conversations about their information choices as information consumers.
This chapter will narrate how we engage first year students in these conversations using multiple methods, tools, and learning objects. Innovative Libraries, Contact me by email andywalsh or on Twitter @andywalsh999. The Fishscale of Academicness Alke Gröppel-Wegener, A. and Walton, G. (2013).
