Literature searching

Library resources

Pay particular attention to forward and backwards search in the library

Interlibrary loan

If you can’t get access to a paper that you think is crucial, consider an interlibrary loan.

But there is no reason access to a single paper ought to slow you down.

I’ve already mentioned

Zotero for managing your reading and creating references in APA7 format
