a literature review is where you pick a few of your resources and review them in a paragraph or so.. say what was good or bad about them.. how useful it was to you.. what sections of your assignment you used it for etc
id say do about 4-5 resources and use different ones like websites, books, journal articles, newspapers etc

basically you just sort-of summarise all the secondary info you have gathered.

If you quote things you should indicate that you have done so and then refer the reader to the appropriate addendix section.

at least that's what i did... still don't know how i went in my irp- still being marked

i guess the 'review' part of it could include analysing the reliability of the sources and stuff...

good luck in your irp!
