6. 2. Information Seeking Strategies Select the best source. Check the Internet. Do I know of a reliable site that tells what movies are playing near Gilbert? Visit the possible theatres. Is this a productive use of my time and money? Call Hollywood. Do you know someone in Hollywood to call?

7. 3. Location and Access Locate sources Check the newspaper. The media center has a copy of the newspaper. Call the theatre. I will call Pastime, General, Columbiana, and Carmike.

11. 4. Use of Information Extract relevant information I decide I like the actors, but I didn’t like the ending. The times were accurate, so I was able to leave the movie in time to get home by 11:00 I forgot to bring enough money for popcorn and a coke.

12. 5. Synthesize Organize from multiple sources. I based my opinion of the evening on the movie (music, acting, photography, etc. the environment of the theatre, my friend’s opinion.)

13. 5. Synthesize Present the information. I tell my family how I enjoyed the movie. I tell my friends how I enjoyed the evening and the movie!
