Today I got back on my track. Although I am still not feeling 100% I am so focused and determined to finish in 2012 that I hit the library again this morning. I had a small setback as the library was closed. No matter. I hit the nearest Panera Bread and got to work. I read several studies that led to other studies. Some of them I read online as I do not have a print copy so I will print and mark up later. I did write the summaries. I tapped into another category which I may or may not have already tapped. I will have to check when I am home. But another category for the literature review map is the node of diversity. I read several studies that point out that organizations are made stronger the more diverse they are. This would seem an important idea since our STEM workforce is not very diverse. This is precisely what led me to my research. I was thinking while I was reading one study and it occurred to me that I have NEVER met a Latino male software developer during my entire career.
