 * //Big6 Notes//**

"The Big6 is an information and technology literacy model and curriculum." "Some people call the Big6 an information problem-solving strategy because with the Big6, students are able to handle any problem, assignment, decision or task." //**Here are the six stages and 2 sub-stages for each category: **// //**1. Task Definition **// //1.1 Define the information problem // //1.2 Identify information needed // //**2. Information Seeking Strategies **// //2.1 Determine all possible sources // //2.2 Select the best sources // //**3. Location and Access **// //3.1 Locate sources (intellectually and physically) // //3.2 Find information within sources // //**4. Use of Information **// //4.1 Engage (e.g., read, hear, view, touch) // //4.2 Extract relevant information // //**5. Synthesis **// //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">5.1 Organize from multiple sources // //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">5.2 Present the information // //**<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">6. Evaluation **// //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">6.1 Judge the product (effectiveness) // //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">6.2 Judge the process (efficiency) // <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 9.5pt;">"People go through these Big6 stages—consciously or not—when they seek or apply information to solve a problem or make a decision. It’s not necessary to complete these stages in a linear order, and a given stage doesn’t have to take a lot of time. We have found that almost all successful problem-solving situations address all stages." []
