Analyzing

Analyzing information is a step that just naturally happens along the way. As I browsed through the search results, I was actively analyzing the information. I choose to use Wikipedia to get the facts fast. To see images of the castle I selected the image results. The Highclere website had links at the top menu bar for easy browsing. There was a link about the filming of the show, so I browsed that section. There was a section about the real Earl of Carnarvon, which I also browsed. By actively seeking the information to answer the questions asked, we are methodically selecting which information to include and which to leave out.

Comparison to 8Ws

Besides wiggling, weaving is also the same as analyzing the information. Weaving is combining information to create a big opicture (Lamb, 1997). Weaving in this case was using information from the Highclere website to use that information for more searching. For example after looking into Highclere and discovering there are tours available I can use this information to look for travel plans to England near the castle. Weaving involves selecting, comparing, organizing and expressing the information (Lamb, 1997).
