About The Big6
When you use the Big6 process, you will identify information goals; then seek, use, and compile relevant, credible information. Next you will reflect—is my final product effective to communicate what I learned, and was my process efficient? The Big6 uses six stages to complete the entire information problem solving process. Here is the way we name each stage in the Big6 process.
- Task Definition
- Information Seeking Strategies
- Location & Access
- Use of Information
- Synthesis
- Evaluation
Now teachers and students have a vocabulary for talking about the information process! You can determine which skill stage you are in if you feel stuck in a project or assignment. You can strengthen a specific skill area using targeted Big6 methods! You have a way to trouble-shoot the learning process and improve your ability to use information effectively and efficiently to solve almost any problem.
We teach practial methods to achieve each skill 1 through 6. The Big6 information literacy process is completely transferable to any grade level, subject area, or workplace. Big6, state and national instructional standards, and your curriculum all work together hand-in-hand. For more information, visit the Big6 website where you will find lots of free information.
==============================
Educators who use Big6 know how to collect and report results to administrators, parents, students and all stakeholders. Big6 is a Defined, Predictable, Measured and Reported method for (ICT) information literacy standards.

Attendee Comments
"Everything in education is built around the standards or testing. If we are not making that connection then the administrators are not seeing any value in it."--Chris Fiebrich, TX
"I consider ICT literacy standards to be equally as important as library standards - students need to be taught and have the opportunity for lots of practice using these "tools" in order to eventually become savvy researchers."--Lynn-Dell Goorachurn, BC
"The children in the school are between the ages (11 to 18) and the Big 6 fits appropriately their understanding at these grade levels."-- Roxanne Ahye-Romeo, Trinidad and Tobago
"Next year we will begin grading library skills".-- Christine Landis, PA
"Rubrics for projects are helpful, as well as other formative methods, observation, etc. Students also love to evaluate ME - I encourage them to critique projects and give feedback on assignments."--Amy Penwell, NJ
