Summary/Abstract: The article presents results of a study conducted among students, investigating their perceived self-efficacy in personal information and knowledge management, with a special focus on the methods of stored information resources processing. The respondents’ self-efficacy reports, obtained by means of a questionnaire, were compared with their evaluation by the researcher. The basis for the evaluation was a set of practical tasks, illustrating the activities listed in the survey questionnaire in the section I know I can… Analysis of the results confirmed good self-evaluation only in selected areas of activity, e.g. in set division, information selection and information search. Students’ efficacy was not confirmed in the areas of: forming knowledge structures, giving titles to main set subdivisions, and giving correct titles to multiple-element subsets.
