The Big Six are a set of information problem-solving skills. The skills include:
1. Task Definition, 2. Information Seeking, 3. Locating and Accessing, 4. Use of Information, 5. Organizing and Communicating, 6. Evaluation. These skills can be used in a variety of situations. The article argues that you can use these steps when figuring out how to get from one location to another or when deciding what movie to watch. These skills are especially useful when learning how to use the internet as a research tool. These skills enable you to find and evaluate information that you find on the internet.
