Abstract
The paper presents results of 360-degree feedback, whether the library should ensure the information safety in its educational activities. This connection is not sufficiently researched.
Purpose of education in libraries about the information safety can be derived from the risk communication and disclosure of abusable information and attacks using them (Livingstone, Haddon, Görzig & Ólafsson, 2011; Oolo & Siibak, 2013; Walrave, Vanwesenbeeck & Heirman, 2012; Weeden, Cooke & McVey, 2013). Education to increase Internet safety is proving as crucial with limited options of software and legal measures to secure user behavior (Ranguelov, 2010; Martin & Rice, 2012).
Martin and Rice (2012) rank library as one of the elements cooperating with the school and activities of directors, teachers and librarians are considered essential to increase Internet safety. The library was ranked on the 8th place among the sources of advice on online safety for children (Livingstone, Haddon, Görzig & Ólafsson, 2011).
Its importance grows when we consider the willingness of libraries to engage in lifelong learning in the local community, with focus on the Internet safety it can be seen on published interest in the USA (Marcoux, 2010), where is clear inclusion in the information literacy (Grayson, 2011 in Digital and information literacy edition). Presented research determines different view from stakeholders on the involvement of libraries in the education about the safe Internet communication.
It was conducted through semi-structured interviews with six people (teaching librarian, director of library, teacher, deputy director of one primary school, pupil and her mother) in the second half of 2013. (...)
