"1. Information literacy
Information literacy is the ability of the individual to determine when and for what purposes he needs information, how such information should be found, compared, evaluated and efficiently used. This literacy must not be passive, it cannot be restricted to the requirement that someone else should furnish information so that we may become willing to act. It is manifested by one’s attitude to information in all spheres of life and social activities. It, however, becomes critically important for entrepreneurs and managers in both the private and public sectors. Information literacy is not obvious, and most people do not view it as an issue or a necessity. However, its insufficiency will promptly become evident where decisions are made without information and analyses, on the basis of superficial recommendations, bombastic advertisements or unsubstantiated promises. Developing information literacy is one of the chief features of a good school education, which, in addition to furnishing complete and processed information (and learning it by heart), should always contain a strong element of independent and creative work with information, including the development of modern methods of collecting and processing such information. A high level of information literacy results in the ability to learn throughout one's life.

2. Civic literacy
Civic literacy could be described as the ability to orient oneself and live in a given social environment, feel like and actually be a valid member, make use of its benefits, realistically understand its strengths and weaknesses, and be fully aware of one´s own rights and obligations. It is particularly true in this area that we have to get rid of many habits, as this type of literacy was the most deformed by the totalitarian regime.
Civic literacy includes legal awareness, orientation in the labour market, and also the ability and will to ask oneself more profound questions regarding the meaning and value of existence and co-habitation, being tolerant of other social groups, beliefs and races, defining and applying one’s own moral principles and life values, and feeling responsible for the situation and development in the narrow as well as the wide community. Where individuals are interested in and feel responsible solely for themselves and their families, assuming everything else to be the responsibility of the state or other institutions is an extremely harmful, even dangerous situation.
The current state of civic literacy has also been influenced by the fact that, after 1989, this type of literacy has not been developed in a sensitive manner. Citizens only received sparse assistance and information support during the course of the historic transformation Czech society underwent and is still undergoing. Therefore numerous unrealistic expectations could have occurred, resulting in disappointment, a decrease in the faith of the public in declarations by politicians, and a substantial part of the general public abandoned the idea of active political involvement. Tolerance to different views and opinions has remained underdeveloped. The development of civic literacy has been hampered by the lack of positive examples of political conduct and behaviour."
