There are a number of models in regards to Information Literacy. Knowing where to lay ones allegiances is an issue. As is noted in much of the literature, such as Herring or Eisenberg for instance, there are more similarities than differences.
Kuhlthau has a strong research base to her model and a pervasive history, harking back to important constructivist theorists of the past. Her theory is well rounded taking in feeling, thoughts and actions.
The Big6 model however does seem quite practical. It is quite clear in its steps, yet is open to much flexibility.
Further reading... further judgement.
