Abstract
- This article discusses the role of the University of Maribor Library in the process of library information literacy training for high school students of Maribor, Slovenia. Based on the annual education plan Library Information Literacy Training for High School Students at the University of Maribor Library (UKM) in the 2009/2010 academic year, in this paper, we describe that development and content of education modules offered to high school students by the University of Maribor Library. We then present the students' evaluation of the quality of the modules and the level of fulfilled expectations of the students. The questionnaire results led to the conclusion that the higher the percentage of students who regard the education modules (classes) as beneficial influence on their success in further education and the higher the level of their fulfilled expectations, the more important the role of the UKM is in the process of information literacy training of the high school students. The research results led to the conclusion that the University of Maribor Library, with minor adjustments of the modules, can competently cooperate in the process of information literacy training of high school students and, therefore, prepare future students for the use of the library services as university student and contribute to the processes of lifelong education and personal growth of the participants.
