UNC also has an excellent page on Comparing/Contrasting, one of a large number of useful handouts..

Writing in Sociology (City Univeristy of New York, Queens). Leads you through defining a question, literature review, outlining, and drafts.

A Guide to Library Research: How to Write a Better Research Paper (Paul Robeson Library, Rutgers-Camden). Not specific to sociology, but a useful survey of the steps in research and writing.

Wire: Writing in Rutgers Education (Rutgers-Camden) has a useful overview of writing skills, including guidelines for literature review papers and empirical research reports.
