Brief overview of the exhibition
Media and Information Literacy
Digital technologies have made available an amount of information that was previously impossible even to imagine. It has become even more important to be able to analyze, critically assess, recognize truthfulness, use effectively and clearly communicate information in various forms. This is called information literacy. Information and media literacy is very important considering how and in what volumes we consume information. All these topics are closely related to education, with the creation of conditions and opportunities for the accession of the national higher education system to the Bologna process.

This part of the exhibition presents literature on the information culture of society. Information in all spheres of our life as a part of culture, education, economy. We are introduced to this topic by the book by D. P.
