When students are first given an assignment, they recognize their need for information to enhance what they may already know about a problem. According to Carol Kuhlthau, "thoughts are vague and ambiguous centering on the general problem or area of uncertainty. Students will become aware of an array of possibilities to explore when they are engaged in motivational discussion and fact-finding. They will select a general area of need or concern when they begin to focus on a personal point of view and seek background information in order to extend their personal understanding of the general area of concern.
