Research Models
The document summarizes several library research models: 1) Kuhlthau's Information Search Process model outlines the typical stages and feelings experienced during the research process including initiation, selection, exploration, formulation, collection, presentation, and assessment. 2) Alice Yucht's Flip It model focuses on keywords, resources, note taking, using various sources, and putting materials away. 3) The Alberta Inquiry Model includes phases for planning, retrieving, processing, creating, and sharing information as well as evaluating the inquiry process. 4) Eisenberg & Berkowitz's Big Six model outlines the stages of task definition, information seeking strategies, location and access, information use, synthesis, and evaluation.
