Here are some guide questions that can help you: What is the question that I need to answer? What information do I need? What kind of information does the task require? What problem do I need to solve? Information Seeking Strategies The second step in the Information Literacy Cycle is to look for the information that you need. In this step, you must list down all the possible sources for your specific topic and select the best source for your topic. Here are some guide questions that can help you: Which sources will provide reliable information? Which sources can provide information that are specific to my topic? Which sources can provide comprehensive or in-depth information about my topic? Location and Access After identifying your possible sources, proceed to locating these sources and gather the information that you need. Here are some guide questions that can help you: What keywords, keyword phrases, or synonyms would lead me to useful information about my topic? What tools can I use to quickly locate the information that I need. How can I keep track of all the information that I gather? Depending on the type of source, what search strategy can I use? Use of Information Begin narrowing down the information that you have gathered. Here are some guide questions that can help you: What information contributes to my topic? What information does not contribute to my topic? Is this information necessary to my study? Does this information answer the question presented by my topic? Synthesis You must decide how to organize and present the information that you have gathered. Here are some guides that can help you: Information synthesis is the process of analyzing and evaluating information from various sources, making connections between the information found, and combining the recently acquired information with prior knowledge to create something new. Synthesis You must decide how to organize and present the information that you have gathered. Here are some guides that can help you: Consider your audience. Organize information according to the format of delivery that you chose. Make it sure that you have thoroughly researched your topic. Evaluation In this final step, you must evaluate all the information and sources. Here are some guide questions that can help you: Are all my sources credible and reliable? Was I efficient in gathering information? Did I organize the information effectively? Did I use my sources ethically?  CRITERIA FOR WEBSITE SOURCE EVALUATION Media and Information Literacy Authority Refers to the author of the information gathered from a particular source. The author may refer to an individual, an institution, or an organization.

Who is the intended audience? Is the information clearly presented as being factual or opinion, primary or secondary in origin? Currency Information in certain fields of knowledge is time- sensitive and changes constantly. Here are some guide questions that can help you: Is the information current? Is the content current? Are the pages date-stamped with last update? Usability Here are some guide questions that can help you: Is the site well-designed and stable? Is the site organization logical and easy to maneuver? Is the content written at a level that is readable by the intended audience? Usability Here are some guide questions that can help you: Has attention been paid to presenting the information as error-free (e.g., spelling, punctuation) as possible?
