Remember that a literature review is not the same as an abstract. Abstracts are descriptive. A literature review tells the reader what other researchers have written about a topic. You must find pertinent and relevant resources, group them into logical "collections", and the organize your review into a logical presentation of other research.Your literature review should be descriptive and representative of the work other researchers have done in your area. 

Here are a few resources that describe literature reviews:

Every resource you choose must be peer reviewed. That means the paper must have undergone a formal peer review before being published in a journal or presented at a conference. You must ensure that your resources have undergone rigorous reviews. In most cases, you can find out the review process for a conference or journal by visiting the appropriate web site. Do not simply assume that a resource is peer reviewed - check it out.
