toc =What is Big6?=

The Big6 is an "information literacy model." Translation: The Big6 is a series of six stages that people either consciously or unconsciously go through when seeking or applying information to solve a problem or make a decision. The stages are as follows:
 * 1) Task Definition
 * 2) Information Seeking Strategies
 * 3) Location and Access
 * 4) Use of Information
 * 5) Synthesis
 * 6) Evaluation

According to Eisenberg and Berkowitz, the two men responsible for laying out the model's stages, the "Big6 integrates information search and use skills along with technology tools in a systematic process to find, use, apply, and evaluate information for specific needs and tasks."

Needless to say, the Big6 stages embody an extremely important skill set for 21st century citizens. =Big 6 Websites=
