Informationskompetenz, i-literacy, Studie, SchlĂĽsselkompetenz New technology and digital media make information easier to access and have become students’ number one source for information. They seem to have no problems dealing with the changing information landscapes. However, current studies show that there is no correlation between the frequency of new technology use and competency with information. This article describes a survey that demonstrates deficits students have in regard to information literacy. We highlight the meaning of information literacy and outline a model to foster information literacy in higher education.
