 | When you have a class assignment or when you need personal information, it can be called an INFORMATION PROBLEM. |
| A library or Library Media Center is a great place to solve information problems because it contains access to many RESOURCES and people who can help you. |
| Sometimes when you have a large INFORMATION PROBLEM to solve, such as a research paper or big project, it might be helpful to use an INFORMATION PROBLEM-SOLVING MODEL to give you some steps to follow. One such model is called "The Big6", developed by Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz. The steps will be covered on this website. |
1) Task Definition : Define the Information Problem, and identify information needed in order to complete the task (to solve the information problem)
2) Information Seeking Strategies Determine the range of possible sources (brainstorm), and evaluate the different possible sources to determine priorities (select the best sources)
3) Location & Access Locate sources (intellectually and physically), and find information within sources.
4) Information Use Engage (e.g., read, hear, view) the information in a source, and extract the relevant information from a source.
5) Synthesis :Organize information from multiple sources, and present the information.
6) Evaluation: Judge the product (effectiveness), and judge the information problem-solving process.
