Informačně chudí: Nová cílová skupina sociální pedagogiky

Abstract

Information poverty is one of the most severe challenges for today's society, manifesting itself in the economic, social, cultural and political spheres. This form of poverty is almost unreflected in social pedagogy, and in the Czech environment, it lacks a more systematic theoretical interpretation. Therefore, this theoretical study offers an introductory exposition of the issue, draws attention to the present discourses in the approach to information poverty, and provides an opportunity to reflect on the phenomenon, approaches or definitions of social pedagogy. The study aims to define, describe and present the concept of information poverty as a socio-pedagogical phenomenon that can be managed thanks to appropriate transdisciplinary cooperation between libraries, librarians and social educators.
