What is the correct order of SCONUL's "Seven Pillar Model of Information Skills" ?
(i) Recognise information need
(ii) Construct strategies for locating
(iii) Compare and evaluate
(iv) Locate and access
Answer: C
The order of the SCONUL Seven Pillars of information skills is recognise the information need, construct strategies for locating, locate and access, and compare and evaluate, so the answer is (i), (ii), (iv), (iii), option C.
The model in the 1999 SCONUL paper begins by recognising a need for information, goes on to distinguish ways of addressing the gap and to construct strategies for locating, then to locate and access the information, and only then to compare and evaluate what was found, before organising, applying and communicating it and synthesising and creating new knowledge.
Options A and B do not start with the need, or evaluate before the information has been located, which cannot be so.
