“…As an extension to workplace information literacy, employability information literacy takes into account the wider labour market in which workplaces operate (e.g. Bušelić and Zorica, 2018). It is most readily associated with the graduate employability agenda: the focus of much of the literature on employability information literacy relates to the preparation of university students for employment following graduation.…”

“…Regarding the development of digital literacy, the availability of ICT technology is not sufficient for development of information literacy (OECD, 2021). Although there is a need to include information literacy, as well as digital literacy, education in curriculum programmes (Jackson, 2005), as students are facing difficulties in accessing, evaluating and using information, there is a lack of strategic approach by schools to change this situation (Julien andBarker, 2009, Jackson, 2005), and a general non-understanding of the importance of information literacy (Bušelić and Banek Zorica, 2017). The change in this field is necessary as only half of the students from OECD survey (2020b) claimed to have school training about recognising nonbiased information fact and only 47% of them can recognize fact from opinion.…”

In today’s world, where almost everything takes place in the virtual world, information and informatics, as well as financial literacy are becoming increasingly important. Although most of the university students are considered to be sufficiently information and informatics literate, the Covid-19 pandemic has confirmed how necessary it is to possess the skills and knowledge related to these literacies in order to maintain quality of life by using new financial technologies and be effective in various spheres of life. This study investigated whether there is connection between these two literacies and financial literacy of university students. Also, students’ demographic data, Internet use, agreement with statements concerning information and informatics literacy as well as the use of payment services before and after the Covid-19 pandemic was explored. In addition, the research aim was also to see if acceptable neural network model could be made for distinguishing students based on their reported financial literacy. Monte Carlo exact test showed that there is statistically significant association at the 0.05 level of significance between the self-reported informatics literacy and information literacy (p = .000, two-sided), age (p = .027, two-sided) and by making payments via digital wallets in 2021 (p = .007, two-sided) and 2020 year (p = .024, two-sided). Also, Monte Carlo exact test showed that there is statistically significant correlation at the 0.05 level of significance between respondents’ information literacy and their work experience (p = .005, two-sided) and who covers their life expenses (p=.019, two-sided). The Monte Carlo test also showed that both of these literacies have statistically significant relationship with financial literacy (p = .000, two-sided), but statistically significant relationship was not found between financial literacy and payments via digital wallets. Concerning the neural network approach, the obtained multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network model gained overall efficiency of 97.5% in distinguishing students based on their level of financial literacy.

“…10 Surprisingly, the relationship between the alumni's information literacy and workplace empowerment is rarely studied-both in library science literature and business literature. 11 There is abundant literature reporting on the relationship between the graduates' IL level and employability 12 especially on IL skills at the workplace 13 with a strong emphasis on the requirements and satisfaction of employers rather than on the well-being of the employee in general, which should include empowerment. There is also no shortage of research using diverse methods of assessing the compliance of employers' expectations regarding newly hired employees' IL level with the actual IL and DL level of graduates in various fields of activity.…”

The purpose of this research is to measure the impact of data literacy on psychological empowerment in workplace for newly employed graduates. Since data play an increasingly important role in our lives, including the work environment, it incites research on whether data literacy skills, those related to collecting, processing, analyzing, and effectively communicating information retrieved from data models have a significant role in the psychological empowerment of alumni in the labor market. Statistical analysis methods were used to measure the correlation between indicators of data literacy and the psychological empowerment of alumni in their work. Competencies in using data models affect the self-efficacy of newly employed alumni at the workplace, mostly in terms of data-driven communication. The findings were discussed in the context of the increasing significance of the data librarian role as a possible method of supporting students and alumni via librarians who are now more involved in creating the educational outcomes of a given college or university.
