It promotes the constructivist and conectivist approach to learning and active learning. Instead of reproduction of knowledge it becomes more significant acquisition of small-scale permanent knowledge that will enable independent learning. From learning the facts, the more important becomes the adoption of knowledge and skills that underpin the learning process, i.e. information literacy meta-competencies. Information literacy programs in academic, but also in other educational environments, can develop and implement highly educated library information professionals given the fact that they are specialist for the organization and management of knowledge. Such a program, its content, methods of implementation and achieved goals are presented in this article.
