Sažetak
The National and University Library in Zagreb plays a key role in training and education of students and developing their information literacy skills in processes associated with lifelong learning. As the central library of the University of Zagreb, it assembles and maintains collections from all scientific fields essential for the University as well as for the broader academic community. The aim is to improve the information literacy through modular educational programmes for students for the purpose of information literacy implementation within the academic curriculum. Presented is the research of students visiting the Library to determine the level of their information competence through frequency of library services’ use, the number of papers they wrote during the past year and the reasons they came to the Library on the day they filled out the questionnaire. The questionnaire of 20 questions consisted of three parts: a) examination of students’ habits, preferences and behaviour when writing papers, b) self-assessment of information literacy and c) quiz questions. The results showed that students who wrote several papers are better acquainted with bibliographic reference rules and predominantly use relevant information resources. However, students’ positive self-assessment of information literacy levels is not real. The obtained results indicate the need to define information literacy programmes in the Library and implement them to academic curriculum, to position the Library as an important information component within higher education system.
