Summary/Abstract: In her article Hanna Batorowska organizes terminology connected with the education of the users of broadly understood information and presents mutual relations between the terms that are interchangeably used in the Polish practice. The author analyzes the types of users’ information culture shaped by libraries of various organizational cultures. She also formulates conclusions concerning the influence of transformations in the understanding of the term “information culture” on the educational actions undertaken on the decision-making level that either bolster or hinder the development of the information literacy programme. She states that the economic and political aspects of realization of a particular project determine the preference of one of the definitions of information culture over other definitions that function in the literature. In conclusion the author states that it is mainly the government that is responsible for the development of the citizens’ information awareness and that it should recognize information literacy as the priority of educational policy and a component of the country’s information policy.
