Information Literacy - Theory and
Practice in the Czech Republic ... p. 7-18
M. Dombrovská, H. Landová, L.Tichá
This case study
reviews the information literacy issue as seen in the context of information and library science, the
educational system and public policy in the Czech Republic. The historical overview serves as a basis for a
better understanding of the origin of the term information literacy. Then the authors attempt to point out the
importance of the connection between theory and practice. The educational role of libraries and the concept of a
teaching librarian are discussed, and especially accented are the information literacy programs in higher
education. Cooperation (esp. library - faculty) is vital to the successful implementation of information
literacy programs into the curriculum.
Information literacy is introduced also as a public policy issue.
Crucial public policy documents in this field are analyzed and key players highlighted. Information literacy as
a policy - this is a new topic in the Czech Republic. A group of information professionals, together with public
policy experts, try to define the relationship between information literacy, life skills and other competences
that are essential for life in the information society. Information Literacy as a Structure Definition is also
suggested. The definition of information literacy standards and the goals of information education seem to be a
key point for further actions. There is an effort to make the information literacy concept, its definition and
standards an integral part of the National Information Policy of the Czech Republic.
