What is the function of an information search model?
Ken Haycock: An information process model, as a support
structure, fosters the development of research, problem-solving and metacognitive skills through the collaboration of the classroom teacher and teacher-librarian. These concise models inform students of the problem-solving process and provide context for the assignment. When young researchers understand an information process model, they can comprehend the extent of the task facing them and the necessary strategies to complete it.• Information Process Models

Advantages of a school-wide model
Haycock: When teachers and students understand an
information process model, they use common vocabulary to clarify terminology and label behaviors, each necessary to enhance metacognition. A school-wide information process model allows students to gradually develop expert use patterns that enable them to reduce reliance on the scaffold and to use the model in different contexts, both in and out of school.• Information Process Models

INFOhio DIALOGUE Model for Information Literacy Skills
Define: Explore/Identify the need for the information Determine the basic question
Initiate “Distressing ignorance”
Assess Identify keywords, concepts, and possible
resources Consider information literacy skills “Tapping prior knowledge” and
“Building background”

INFOhio DIALOGUE Model
Locate Identify possible sources of information Develop a search strategy Locate and retrieve available resources
Organize Identify the best and most useful
information sources Evaluate the information retrieved

Carol Kuhlthau’s ISP
Information Search Process The Information Search Process (ISP) is
a six stage model of the users’ holistic experience in the process of information seeking. The ISP model, based on two decades of empirical research, identifies three realms of experience: the affective (feelings), the cognitive (thoughts) and the physical (actions) common to each stage. • Abstract

Guided InquiryGuided Inquiry: Learning in the 21st Centuryby Carol C. Kuhlthau, Leslie K. Maniotes, and Ann K. Caspari. Libraries Unlimited, 2007 Guided Inquiry is an approach based on Kuhlthau’s ISP, enhanced
to offer “an integrated unit of inquiry planned and guided by an instructional team of a school librarian and teachers, together allowing students to gain deeper understandings of subject area curriculum content and information literacy concepts. It combines often overlooked outside resources with materials in the school library. The team guides students toward developing skills and abilities necessary for the workplace and daily living in the rapidly changing information environment of the 21st century. ”

Need for inventory of expertise
Building Guided InquiryTeams for 21st-Century Learners Teachers and school librarians experienced in
collaborative team teaching have a good basis for implementing this flexible team approach. They can effectively build on what is already in place. The first step is for participants to take inventory of the expertise at the school—where are the strengths? What areas need to be developed? How will gaps be filled?• Carol C. Kuhlthau and Leslie K.

Big6™ Skills What is the Big6? Developed by educators
Mike Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz, the Big6 is the most widely-known and widely-used approach to teaching information and technology skills in the world.
Some people call the Big6 an information problem-solving strategy because with the Big6, students are able to handle any problem, assignment, decision or task. Here are the six stages we call the BIG6.

An adaptation of the Big 6
1. Assignment• What am I supposed to do?
2. Plan of Action• How do I get the job done?
3. Doing the Job• Let’s do it!
4. Product Evaluation• What do I have to show for it?
5. Process Evaluation• How well did I do?

The Savvy Seven Research Model
Developed by Nancy Miller and Connie Champlin 1. What is the Question?
2. What Resources Should I Use?
3. How Do I Find the Information?
4. How Do I Gather the Information?
5. Which Information Do I Use?
6. How Do I Share What I Learned?
7. How Do I Evaluate My Work? http://www.davidvl.org/savvy7.html

So Many Research Models
Research Models The library media
specialist should have numerous examples of research process models available for consideration by the faculty and can take the lead in teaching this concept to the faculty as a whole.
