Information culture - the most important part of society

The term "Information culture" is based on two basic concepts: culture and information. In accordance with this, a significant number of researchers identify the information and cultural approaches to the interpretation of this term.

From the point of view of the culturological approach, information culture is a way of human existence in the information society. It is considered as a component of the development of human culture.

From the point of view of the information approach, the overwhelming number of researchers: A.P. Ershov, S.A. Beshenkov, N.V. Makarova, A.A. Kuznetsov, E.A. Rakitin and others - define this concept as a set of skills, knowledge, skills of selection, search, analysis and storage of information.

Information culture, depending on the subject acting as its carrier, is considered at three levels:

- information culture of a specific person;

- the information culture of a particular community group;

- the information culture of society in general.

The information culture of a particular person, as many researchers believe, is a level system developing in time.

The information culture of a particular group of the community is observed in the information behavior of a person. At the moment, a database is being developed to create a contradiction between the category of people whose information culture is created against the backdrop of the development of information technology.

After the information revolutions that occurred, there were changes in social relations in every sphere of human life. The modern information culture of society includes all past forms, united in a single whole.

Information culture is also part of a common culture, and a systematized set of knowledge, skills, skills that ensure the best implementation of personal information activities, which is aimed at meeting individual cognitive needs. This collection includes the following list:

1. Information worldview.

2. Ability to formulate their information requests.

3. Ability to make personal information search of different types of documents.

4. The ability to use the information received in their own cognitive or educational activities. The information culture has three stages of completeness.

The development of the information culture of the individual is seen in his cognitive behavior. Through this behavior, on the one hand, reflects the activity of the individual as a learning subject, his ability to navigate in the information space. On the other hand, through it a measure of accessibility and ease of use of aggregate information resources is determined.
