A nice overview of the parts of a review of the literature and what should be contained within them.

Includes a nice set of questions to ask yourself about how well you've conducted your literature review and questions to ask yourself about each article. This second part is more intended for thesis writers than for an in-class type of literature review. In other words, it's more than you really need.
