Abstract

The development of information technology has influenced the way people search for and use health information. This study aims to describe the differences in information literacy among the people of Tuo Limbur village based on their level of education and the factors that influence them in dealing with health issues using The Big6TM information literacy model. The methods used were case studies with purposive sampling, in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: each case, between strata, and across cases. The results showed that highly educated people were closer to the Big6TM stages that required information literacy skills, such as problem formulation, determining information search strategies, location and access, utilising information, identifying information, and evaluation, compared to less educated people who tended to rely more on indigenous communication. This study emphasises the importance of education, improving access to official information, and integrating local cultural approaches in improving the health information literacy of rural communities.
