3: Give credit to the original ideas of others through proper attribution and citation.

4: Formulate questions for research based on information gaps or on reexamination of existing, possibly conflicting, information; Determine an appropriate scope of investigation; Deal with complex research by breaking complex questions into simple ones, limiting the scope of investigations; Organize information in meaningful ways; Synthesize ideas gathered from multiple sources; Draw reasonable conclusions based on the analysis and interpretation of information.

6: Determine the initial scope of the task required to meet their information needs; Identify interested parties, such as scholars, organizations, governments, and industries, who might produce information about a topic and then determine how to access that information; Utilize divergent (e.g., brainstorming) and convergent (e.g., selecting the best source) thinking when searching; Design and refine needs and search strategies as necessary, based on search results.

1: Use research tools and indicators of authority to determine the credibility of sources, understanding the elements that might temper this credibility; Understand that many disciplines have acknowledged authorities in the sense of well-known scholars and publications that are widely considered “standard,” and yet, even in those situations, some scholars would challenge the authority of those sources; Understand the increasingly social nature of the information ecosystem where authorities actively connect with one another and sources develop over time;

3: Give credit to the original ideas of others through proper attribution and citation; Decide where and how their information is published.

4: Formulate questions for research based on information gaps or on reexamination of existing, possibly conflicting, information; Determine an appropriate scope of investigation; Deal with complex research by breaking complex questions into simple ones, limiting the scope of investigations; Use various research methods, based on need, circumstance, and type of inquiry; Monitor gathered information and assess for gaps or weaknesses; Organize information in meaningful ways; Synthesize ideas gathered from multiple sources; Draw reasonable conclusions based on the analysis and interpretation of information.

6: Match information needs and search strategies to appropriate search tools; Understand how information systems (i.e., collections of recorded information) are organized in order to access relevant information; Manage searching processes and results effectively.
