Sažetak
The constant advancement of information technologies had begun to affect information handling requirements, commonly recognized as information literacy, which has been widely and increasingly cited as an essential competency. This is congruent with tendencies in contemporary educational systems that recognize the need for a harmonious development of the human being characterized by the development of generic as well as specific competences. Capabilities like identifying, finding or using relevant information for critical thinking fall in the spectrum of generic information competencies. We consider that creating an adult information competent person is based on three key factors ; university teachers, students and the world of work. The final goal of the higher education system and university teachers is to prepare students for the labor market. This paper represents the views of university professors on the development of student's information competencies during the study itself and the importance of the development of information competencies for future student's professional work.
