Abstract
The paper presents the results of 360 - degree feedback, regarding whether the library should ensure information safety in its educational activities. This connection is not sufficiently researched.
The purpose of education in libraries about information safety can be derived from risk communication and disclosure of abusable information and attacks using that information (Livingstone, Haddon, Görzig & Ólafsson, 2011; Oolo & Siibak, 2013; Walrave, Vanwesenbeeck & Heirman, 2012; Weeden, Cooke & McVey, 2013). Education to increase Internet safety is proving crucial, but with limited options of software and legal measures to secure user behavior (Ranguelov, 2010; Martin & Rice, 2012).
Martin and Rice (2012) rank the 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 in 8th place among the sources of advice on online safety for children (Livingstone, Haddon, Görzi g & Ólafsson, 2011).
Its importance grows when we consider the willingness of libraries to engage in lifelong learning in the local community, with a focus on Internet safety, as seen in published interest in the USA (Marcoux, 2010), and where there is clear inclusion in information literacy (Grayson, 2011 in Digital and information literacy edition).
