This document outlines the six steps of the Big6 information literacy model: 1) Task Definition, 2) Information Seeking Strategies, 3) Location and Access, 4) Use of Information, 5) Synthesis, and 6) Evaluation. It provides brief descriptions of each step, with key questions and considerations. For example, in step 1 the learner defines what they need to do and formulate questions, in step 2 they determine information sources to search, and in step 6 they evaluate if their work successfully answered the original questions and followed proper citation practices. The overall goal of the Big6 model is to empower people to effectively seek, evaluate, use and create information to achieve their goals.

2. 4. Use of information
- Look up at the information I
have got; (I should read, watch,
listen to, touch…)
- I take some notes about the information I
have got;
- Now, I am going to write a texto, using all
the notes/information I have got, trying to
answer the questions I have asked previously
and giving my own opinion.
P.S. You should not copy. Try to use your
own words when you are explaining what you
have learnt;. The sources of your information
should always be written (at the end of your
text), otherwise, you will be punished by law.

going to use im my presentation?
1. Task definition

such information?
3. Location and ways of access

6. Evaluation
How can I assess what i have done?
Before finishing my work, I should check
what i have done:
- The information I have got is the one I
need to answer the question in 1?
- Have I quoted my sources correctly?
- Have I written my own text, using my
own words?
- Is my work/text well written and well
presented?
- Is it finished with the title, the name,
date, bibliography/webgraphy, contents?
