Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of information literacy as a set of knowledge and skills that young people should adopt in the earliest period of the life and education as a information understanding culture within the safety culture, in order to cope, not just with the glut of information in everyday life, but also in learning and education. The focus is set on students’ information behavior, information seeking behavior and on information literacy, since the information behavior deals with the behavior of the individual steps that physically follows a user of information, while information literacy is concerned with cognitive and affective aspects (knowledge/emotions/attitudes) needed to perform these steps. The emphasis has been made on the information evaluating as one of the standards of information literacy, which is directly related to the information culture as a part of the safety culture. Information literacy is the principal knowledge in the information society that helps people to recognize and prevent the appearance and behavior which could endanger them and which is essential for the safety culture in all ages and social environments.
