I have performed advanced searches in scholarly research databases in my discipline (This is not the same as simple searching in Summon or Google Scholar.)
I plan to gather three times as many sources as I use in my paper or dissertation.
If this is my dissertation I have already gathered hundreds of resources. If this is a regular course paper I have already gathered dozens of resources.
I have a system for organizing the many sources I will gather.
My research interest is currently a narrow question, not just a broad topic.

I am familiar with the differences between course assignment research and the more deliberate methodology of reviewing the literature.

I understand where to find literature in both my specialization and discipline.
I can see how conversations have developed in the different articles I have gathered.
I can name three key journals that publish in my research area.
I am comfortable contacting Capella Librarians if I run into literature search hurdles.

I can see where my research fits in to the scholarly conversation, to drive the research forward.
