Abstract
The aim of this paper is to briefly review the strategic steps which
have been taken in the area of education for information literacy (IL) in the
Czech Republic - focusing mainly on the higher education level, but with
additional references and applications to lower educational levels as well. The
paper also aims to look a bit deeply into the broader, fundamental "right to
literacy," in relation to human rights and public duties in general, and which are
very often guaranteed by national constitutions, such as the right to education,
the right to access (public) information, and the (public) duty to protect weaker
parties in certain kinds of legal negotiations in countries such as the Czech
Republic.
