Information literacy, epistemic cultures and the question 'Who needs what?'

This conference paper introduces "Information Didactics", defining it as a new didactics concept centering on the analysis of epistemic-culture-specific behaviour as a basis for the development of instructional activities. It broadens existing traditional conceptions of Information Literacy (IL) to create a universally adoptable didactical concept applicable not only to classical IL training but also to other instructional activities in the field of Information Science, for example the development of data literacy skills.
