Information Literacy Training in Higher Education as an Introduction to Lifelong Learning. The Needs of the Curriculum Reform by Irena Pulak and Małgorzata Wieczorek-Tomaszewska

Abstract:
The article discusses the need to modify the curricula of ICT in higher education. Contemporary university students seem to function well in the world of new technology, however, they have problems when working with information, including the identification of information needs, the selection of search tools adequate to the task and evaluating information found on the Internet. The curriculum of ICT at universities very often focuses only on narrow technical aspects. There is a necessity to introduce a broad perspective covering the organization, planning and implementation of individual learning in a digital information environment. It is a very important part of the development of the information culture of the young generation and lifelong learning process.
