• interactivity – active interaction of all stakeholders and usage of<br />
network information resources with feedback provided;<br />
• efficiency – high-speed information exchange, ability to regularly<br />
update and promptly amend information;<br />
• convenience – usability of the digital information environment and the<br />
possibility of access for remote users at any time convenient to them.<br />
In our view, the role of information literacy in the preservation of linguistic<br />
diversity in cyberspace is not limited to the above-described two functions.<br />
Information literacy surely performs the adaptive function as well ensuring<br />
individuals’ adaptation to the new challenges of a rapidly changing information<br />
society. Moreover, information literacy is also an important factor of<br />
development, as it is aimed at enriching one’s mental capacity and inner world.<br />
Information literacy is the foundation of any cognitive process, including education,<br />
and scientific research. It is a tool for tackling practical vital tasks requiring for the<br />
use of appropriate information and relevant knowledge and skills.<br />
The protective or preventive role of information literacy should be<br />

society, connected with the huge volume of information, often unreliable and<br />
contradictory, from ICT penetration into all spheres of life and danger of<br />
manipulation of human consciousness.<br />

and interpret information, draw one’s own conclusions and form own point of<br />
view on various social, cultural, political, and other aspects of life instead of<br />
blindly trusting other’s opinion.<br />
In conclusion, we want to emphasize once again the complexity of the problem<br />
of multilingualism preservation in cyberspace in the context of globalization.<br />
Its solution lies outside the scope of simple and unambiguous decisions, and<br />
requires for the integration of efforts by national and local governments,<br />
education, science, memory institutions (libraries, archives, museums), art<br />
institutions, both traditional and electronic media, public organizations and<br />
private individuals. It involves large-scale, long term and, most importantly,<br />
systemic activities including raising the level of information literacy of citizens.<br />
Information literacy development for preserving multilingualism, in turn,<br />
requires for state support and provision of the following conditions:<br />
