Five Laws of Media and Information Literacy

We are travelling towards the universality of books, the Internet and all forms of “containers of knowledge”. Media and information literacy for all should be seen as a nexus of human rights.

Video: Cancer Cure?

A deceptive cancer cure video went viral and reminded people to be skeptical.

Our name is programme: IICIIS is dedicated to promoting and facilitating information competence in co-operation with the national information infrastructure institutions (not just libraries). IKIS forms the appropriate platform as an association of individuals and institutions who want to participate in the exchange of opinions, the formation of strategies and the definition of goals as well as further develop their own information competence.

Steve Patriarca

I want to focus on how information can become knowledge and what skills are involved in that process.

Hermann Huemer

I care about the quality of the information we consume or produce every day as others care about quality of food, environment or life.

Historical Context

IICIIS pursue a similar vision as FID and NFIL. However, instead of documenting the knowledge of the world centrally, we are promoting a modern information infrastructure that provides knowledge in high-quality information products, as well as individual information competence to ensure that the information infrastructure and its products and services can be used efficiently. The widespread societal integration of information literacy will continue to be an ongoing challenge in efforts to level the playing field for the development of the responsible digital citizen.
