Réaliser un travail de recherche: Infographic

The Groupe de travail du Programme de développement des compétences informationnelles du réseau [information literacy working group] de l’Université du Québec (Canada) have produced a nice (French language) infographic showing the stages in searching for a topic. You can even download a zip file with the documents to print oout and paste together. The blog post explaining it (in French) is at https://tribuneci.wordpress.com/2012/04/04/infographie-et-competences-informationnelles/
Actually if you speak French (or are adept at Google Translate) the blog as a whole is of interest: https://tribuneci.wordpress.com/
Note: the picture is from the blog posting, copyright the authors on the blog post I just linked to. It shows the final stage of making the infographic from their downloaded files, namely "Relax!" ;-)
