This document outlines the six steps of the Big6 problem solving model: 1) Task Definition - defining the problem or information need, 2) Information Seeking Strategies - identifying possible sources of information, 3) Location and Access - locating sources, 4) Use of Information - engaging with and extracting information from sources, 5) Synthesis - organizing the information collected, and 6) Evaluation - assessing if the task is completed and the problem solved. The document also thanks various contributors of images related to construction, problem solving and information gathering.
