[Genealib] Literature Review Assistance

[Nancy Ward]

As a (hopefully!) future genealogy librarian, I am hoping that some  
of the more experienced librarians on this list might be able to help  
me get started on a project.

I need to do a literature review for a MLS class at Syracuse  
University. The topic I would like to concentrate on is determining  
what patrons are looking for in genealogical resources and research  
assistance. However, I am not having any luck finding any articles on  
this topic.

Using various periodical databases, I have been searching with  
various combinations of genealogy/genealogical, research, assistance,  
help, resource(s). I have yet to find any articles that address this  
issue, whether genealogical based or general reference resource  
based. Would you be able to provide me with any ideas on what terms  
would be able to bring up these articles (assuming any even exist!)  
or where I might look beyond the general databases the university  
offers and PERSI.

thank you for any assistance,

Nancy Ward
