NOTE: Currently, in Belarus creation of a unified educational system with common
methodological basis for formation of media and information culture of human
personality is in its very initial stage. Mostly, media and information literacies are
considered separately. Information and media literacies’ classes as part of a
curriculum of an academic institution are provided by librarians and teachers and
their subjects and durations depend on different preferences and circumstances. In
Belarus the term “information culture” is used more often than the term “information
literacy” because the term “culture” is considered as more relevant to informational
and social environment of the information society than the term “literacy.” The later
appearance of such the terms as "digital natives", "digital immigrants", "born digital"
can be seen as confirmation of validity of this point of view.
The list of publications on media and information culture published by Belarusian
authors in printed and online sources for 2009-2013 is below.
