Topic 1 : Information Literacy & Big 6 Process.

Assalamualaikum,


    Welcome to the last semester in FSP. In this semester I am taking Information Literacy (IL) as ICT subject. My lecturer for this subject is Miss NurKhairunnisha Zainal. What I have learnt in topic 1 are IL definition and Big 6 Process.

    From what i have learnt, IL is the set of skill needed to find, retrieve, analyze & use information. IL also known as Information Competency & Information Skills. From my understanding, there are 6 elements of IL. That are Library Literacy, Media Literacy, Computer Literacy, Internet Literacy, Research Literacy & Critical Thinking Literacy. Information Literacy is very important because it is the solution to Data Smog.

The Big 6 Process



    The Big 6 Process is a six stages of process to help anyone solve problems or make decisions by using the information.

  1. TASK DEFINITION : we have to define the problem and identify information needed. What type the information does we need ?
  2. INFORMATION SEEKING STRATEGIES : we have to determine the range of possible sources. Which are the best source that you want to put in your report.
  3. LOCATION AND ACCESS : We locate sources and find information within sources. Where ? and where information in each sources ?
  4. USE OF INFORMATION : engage such as read,hear,view or touch) that information.
  5. SYNTHESIS : We organize information from multiple sources and we present it.
  6. EVALUATION : At the end, we judge the product including judge the information problem to solve it. Is the task complete ? The objective is archive or not ?
