Big6 Skills

The Big6 Skills are a structured set of steps to effectively find, evaluate, and use information. They include six key skills: Task Definition (understanding what you need to do), Information Seeking Strategies (planning how to find information), Location and Access (finding resources), Use of Information (examining and extracting relevant data), Synthesis (organizing and integrating the information), and Evaluation (judging the quality and usefulness of the information). These skills help individuals efficiently solve problems, complete projects, and make informed decisions by guiding them through a logical process of research and critical thinking.
