To be information literate means to realize when and why you need information, to be able to find relevant information, to learn to recognize quality information, and to be able to enjoy and process it. The aim of the subject is to learn to recognize and understand the information needs, to be able to navigate through the available sources of information, to learn to seek properly from these sources, to recognize the quality of the results found, to be able to process correctly the results, to learn how to use and share information responsibly and ethically correctly.

After completing the course, the students will be able to:

• Know and use their professional information sources in classical and electronic form,
• effectively use a variety of search tools,
• know the basics of theoretical texts,
• navigate in the environment of libraries and BUT libraries,
• understand the ethical and legal issues from the world of information and information technology.

The information obtained in the course will make it easier for students to study at FIT.

We expect that students have the high school level knowledge of using computers.
