Students of Law and E-Democracy

The purpose of this paper is to present the findings of a small-scale pilot-study conducted among students of law at Osijek University on egovernment and e-democracy information. The aim of the research was to find out the degree of the students’ information literacy regarding the e- government and e-democracy information. The survey was conducted in May 2014 (papersurvey) on the sample of 171 law students. Students were asked about the usage of ICT technology in their study and everyday lives as well as about the ability to find, evaluate and apply the e- government information. The results of our survey detected a low interest of our sample for information related to local, regional or national governing bodies (e.g. only 3.4% of students used ICT to access the local communal information, 0.5% contacted the representative of local authority regarding administrative or communal issues).
