Programs of Teaching Information Literacy in Croatian School Libraries

This paper talks about the beginnings, development and currently used models of teaching information literacy in school libraries. The foundations of information literacy in Croatia have been set in early eighties of the 20 century by the general transformation of classic school libraries into multimedia centers. The program orientation of activities was focused on, in those days, innovative forms of learning with a clear focus on individual choice of methods and the most appropriate media. Teaching information science has developed with individually developed programs, that came out of the users needs and the models have been executed through group teaching. In middle 90’s of the 20 century, the merge of new technologies and the change of users needs, result with a completely new model of teaching information science, which actually makes the base of the educational program of school libraries and school librarians.
