These are the questions you need to be asking when looking for information:-

**// Defining //** What do I really want to find out? What is my purpose? Why do I need to find this out? What are the key words and ideas of the task? What do I need to do?

//** Locating **// Where can I find the information I need? What do I already know? What do I still need to find out? What sources and equipment can I use?

//** Selecting **// What information do I really need to use? What information can I leave out? How relevant is the information I have found? How credible is the information I have found? How will I record the information I need?

//** Organising **// How can I use the information? Have I enough information for my purpose? Do I need to use all this information? How can I best combine information from different sources?

//** Presenting **// How can I present this information? What will I do with this information? With whom will I share this information?

//** Assessing **// What did I learn from this? Did I fulfill my purpose? How did I go with each step of the information process? How did i go presenting the information? Where do I go from here?
