I want to know a little about my dissertation literature review. I mean do I simply quote what I read and summarize it? What am I required to do in the literature review section of my dissertation?

Interesting place for this post.

My thoughts:
1. What does your committee expect?
2. What are your department's specific guidelines?
3. Have you reviewed other dissertations by students in your same department (usually on file at your university library)?
