1.The six steps to THE BIG 6 are: 
Step 1- task definition Step, 2- information seeking strategies, Step 3- location and access, Step 4- use of information, Step 5- synthesis, and Step 6- evaluation.
2. The BIG 6 is helpful when completing research because if you have like a school project then you can follow this and it can help you remember to try to meet all the expatiation's or in work it can help you do the same thing.
3. This can tie together with what I have learned about evaluating websites, blogs, and wikis because I could use this checklist to review it and make sure it is a good website, blog, or wiki.    
 
 
In this wiki I can read it well and the topic is clearly expressed. The Wikipedia style conventions are followed. This article was made in February of 2009 but last updated in November in 2012. The same stuff dose get change or put back on their often. There is no discussion page on this wiki. There is no template message. I would recommend this wiki.
 
When evaluating a wiki look for a discussion page, the date last updated, the quality of the page, and check the template messages at the top of the article. The disclaimer of a wiki is that they are not always true because anyone can make one and they might not have the right information. The significances of this disclaimer is that anyone can make a wiki even you or me not just companies or rich and/or powerful people.
