Off The Shelf

I was looking at a book in the library’s ebrary database about writing dissertations, and I ran across this bit of dissertation advice today:

You will need to be a real researcher.  Start early.  Join the appropriate professional organizations.  Get and read journals.  Develop researching skills. (Brause, 2000, p. 31)

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

So, what advice would you give others?  What have you heard that has been helpful?
