Information literacy FCC133

Information literacy process model Big 6


This trimester we started a bit late, due the replacement for IL lecturer. The first lecture was mainly about BIG 6. Basically Big 6 is a six stage process to help students to solve problem and make decisions by using information. The six stage are
Task definition
Information seeking strategies
Location and access
Use of information
Synthesis
Evaluation

Narrowing a topic down

When doing a research one must choose a topic and narrow it down. To narrow the topic down you have to develop your thesis statement and formulate questions like what? Who? Where? When? And why? This help you to be more specific and to address the real issue in your research. 

Example of a topic which narrowed down: the Wi-Fi usage amount amongst AIU students.
