INFORMACIJSKA PISMENOST I DIPLOMANTSKA ZAPOŠLJIVOST.

Objective. The aim of the research is to point out the differences in the scientific discourse that prevail in the domains of information literacy and graduate employability. The previous research results of the two authors of this paper have shown a very weak overlap between the domains of information literacy and employability. In this research, through the analysis of the notions of skill and competence, the authors have tried to determine why these two very important notions from the context of employability do not contribute to the stronger connection between information literacy and the issue of youth employability. Methodology. The mapping and visualization of the domain of research was done by performing a bibliometric co-word analysis over the sets of documents extracted from the Scopus citation base. The analysis was carried out using the VOSviewer software developed at the Center for Science and Technology Studies in Leiden. Results. By constructing the model of the domains of information literacy and employability, the visual mapping of the key concepts has shown the differences that prevail in their discourse. The analysis was carried out through the concepts of skills and competences, which are characteristic terms related to graduate employability. From their position in the information literacy domain, it is evident that they are on the edge of the cluster of 'information literacy', in the environment and context of 'acquiring skills and competencies' that are very generally related to acquiring information literacy, regardless of work and/or employability. However, in the domain of employability, it is evident that they are at the center of the cluster of 'graduate employability', which embraces 'work and employability' on the one hand, and 'students and higher education' on the other hand. It is especially indicative that in the information literacy model constructed with minimal restrictions, there are no concepts related to work, employability or employment, which indicates that the entire discourse of the domain of information literacy is not oriented in that direction. Originality. So far, no comprehensive analysis of the employability domain and its discourse in the graduate employability segment has been carried out, especially from the information literacy point of view. This paper presents a specific aspect which suggests why the discourse of these two domains is different, although both terms of skills and competences are actively present. By using the methods and tools of visual mapping, the results are presented very intuitively, in a clear and easy manner. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
