- Abstract (latvian):
- Libraries can be key players in developing activities for civic literacy. Information literacy is one of the possibly effective measures for developing civic literacy. Traditionally the development of information literacy is performed by librarians. Different researchers across the world address the issue of librarians’ lack of competencies necessary for conducting information literacy activities. Lack of proficiency in conducting educational activities might be one of the obstacles hindering the development of the activities for information literacy and also civic literacy. The paper discusses research on programmes of study for professional librarians, not all of which prepare librarians to teach information literacy. Until now, no similar research has been done in Lithuania. The author’s research addresses this gap. The methods employed allow establishing whether the study programmes designed for professional librarians are able to develop the entirety of competencies necessary for librarians teaching information literacy. The research analyzed the components of the study programmes designed for preparing professional librarians at three Lithuanian institutions of tertiary education, following the Standards for Proficiencies for Instruction Librarians and Coordinators. The research reveals that future Lithuanian librarians are poorly equipped for conducting educational activities. Hence study programmes require significant adjustments. If librarians would like to be seen as civic literacy developers, they must be adequately prepared to teach information literacy first.
