Abstract
Information as resource has to be produced, published, dissolved and saved for future use. These functions have changed under information revolutions during mankind’s development.
Information in XXI century can be produced and published by everyone, it spreads at zero-time, and what is left for our descendants? Information and it’s algorithms are invisible now and thus hard to understand infrastructure, or materiality. Students see a text on the screen as a mass without understanding what kind of publication it is: “Is it a scientific article?” No, it is not an article at all.
Ongoing fragmentation, individualization and emotionalization of information in digital culture can be the cause of crisis of information. The crisis of information is a crisis of a collective trust. Without trust, society is impossible. People don’t trust even governmental information, as we could see during pandemic years.
We have to give students the key to a modern information society. It’s not only about academic world, but for all the digital culture and civil society.
All the students need some keys to information from the beginning of their studies. Then we have to develop their information literacy step by step in a contact with faculty.
