Extended Abstract.
Information literacy initiatives in higher
education seek to meet the demands of the
knowledge based and information society [8].
According to the most common definitions,
information literacy has a large impact on the
development of problem based learning skills,
and direct influence on the life accomplishments
[2]. The majority of information literacy
interpretations are associated with lifelong
learning. According to UNESCO [10]
information literacy is a vital element for
successful lifelong learning. The concept of
lifelong learning has evolved with the need for
employees to increasingly acquire new
competences at the workplace [6].
