coursework requirements. Discussion includes a description of a literature search, the purpose
of a literature review finding sources, and a general strategy to help conduct an efficient and
productive system development. Using this report, students can become more proactive about

their students about expectations for research assignments and IT projects. Two critical steps
in a literature search are: (i) finding sources; and (ii) synthesizing information. Each of these
is addressed in two of the major sections in this report and how the system relates to the entire
development process. Then pertinent information is repeated in the summary section for
