Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the problem of data literacy in the context of the ongoing changes within the academic society and the sphere of academic communication caused by the development of the information and communication technologies. Therefore in the first part of the article the Van Dijk’s model of four types of access to ICT is presented, which – extended – enables to view the problem of digital literacy in a broader perspective. Secondly, the definitions of information literacy and data literacy are discussed. The last part of the article presents the components of data literacy and the relations between this concept and other issues that are the subject of informatology research. The background for these considerations shall be the models of scientific communication, in which the role of ICT tools and digital skills is particularly evident.
