Information Literacy in the ICT Culture<\/span><\/h2>\n

Caused by the change from a book-based culture to an ICT-based culture (based on information and communication technologies) we need a new understanding of information literacy.<\/p>\n

The following comparison of the librarian concept and the ICT concept of information literacy is mainly based on the paper of Nando St\u00f6cklin: Informations- und Kommunikationskompetenz \u2013 das \u00abLesen und Schreiben\u00bb der ICT-Kultur.<\/em> (2012, DOI: http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.21240\/mpaed\/00\/2012.06.22.X<\/a>)<\/p>\n

<\/td>\nLibrarian Concept<\/span><\/td>\nMedia Pedagogical and Informatics Aproach<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Culture<\/td>\nBook culture:<\/p>\n

This is characteristic of the industrial society; in a hierarchical social order.<\/p>\n

Information and communication follow the line of organisation where information is considered mainly a duty of the superiors.<\/td>\n

ICT Culture (Computer and Internet):<\/p>\n

This is characteristic of the information society; with flat hierarchies and networks.<\/p>\n

Information exchange and communication also take place in networks, often across corporate and national boundaries.<\/p>\n

Information is regarded as the duty of self-responsible (often precariously employed) individuals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Media<\/td>\npaper-based media or digital copies thereof;<\/p>\n

Radio and television for picture and sound.<\/td>\n

Internet based media (websites, wikis, blogs, microblogs, forums, chats) and social networks;<\/p>\n

digital, multimedia, interactive;<\/p>\n

not restricted to print\/text information any more.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Research<\/td>\nfocused on published, printed or electronic, scientific information;<\/p>\n

systematic use of library catalogs and specialist databases as a training subject; subsequent evaluation, management and use of this information;<\/p>\n

Information managment predominates.<\/td>\n

includes the understanding and interpretation of images and films \/ videos;<\/p>\n

Orientation within the Internet and in the information infrastructure as a training subject;<\/p>\n

Administration and management are becoming less important.<\/p>\n

Information research predominates.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Acquisition<\/td>\nby purchase of books, magazines and journals;<\/p>\n

in stock (Just-in-Case);<\/p>\n

Cost and time intensive.<\/td>\n

often at no charge, more and more frequently via the Internet;<\/p>\n

Just-in-Time (only when necessary, but possible at any time);<\/p>\n

demand-oriented, with less effort.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Selection<\/td>\nby publishers, editors or teachers.<\/td>\nby personal networks (“filter bubbles”) or algorithms of search engines.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Timeliness<\/td>\noriented towards the past;<\/p>\n

with a longevity and as universal as possible.<\/td>\n

oriented towards the present (real time);<\/p>\n

with case-specific relevance (e.g., request to a network or forum).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

NEW<\/td>\n<\/td>\nProduction<\/strong> (conzept) of information (including pictures and videos);<\/p>\n

Communication<\/strong> (transmission) of information such as texts (including comments \/ feedback), audio-documents, videos, fotos, graphics as well as animations, in consideration of copyrights and plagiarism;<\/p>\n

These new aspects create interfaces to media literacy and ICT literacy.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Goal<\/td>\nPromotion of reading (reception) and writing of linguistic texts as well as their understanding.<\/td>\nPromotion of know-how for the acquisition, production and transmission of information.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

From the new understanding of information literacy a new definition is proposed:<\/p>\n

Information Literacy in the ICT Culture is the ability which enables you<\/p>\n
