This article is primarily devoted to school libraries, whose main purpose is to develop a reading and information culture among students. This process faces many subjective and objective obstacles; management, teachers, librarians, local authorities and government are responsible for their removal. The most common teaching mistake is to equate young people's high readiness to acquire new information with information technology (IT) preparation. This creates a lot of misunderstandings for teaching, for libraries, and for education in general. The paper discusses the key elements of the so-called Information Competencies Education that has been recognized by the European Union authorities as a priority for contemporary schools and public libraries.

New curriculum introduced to school this year (2009/2010) has cancelled so-called ‘education paths', including ‘Reading and media' path. Its specific content has been incorporated into other school subjects. The author of this paper comments on the education reform and reveals her own anxiety about the results of such changes. She discusses and emphasizes the role of school and public librarians in teaching information literacy to middle school pupils.

In the era of ubiquitous plagiarism she suggests librarians should teach issues of information recording and attribution insufficiently covered by curriculum.

The library catalog, as any other information retrieval system, is expected to provide its users with efficient methods of information search and retrieval. The authorerss attempts to evaluate the quality (understood as the comprehensiveness and precision of information retrieval) of online catalogs of small and medium-sized libraries using the following integrated library systems: MOL OPTIVUM, LIBRA 2000, PATRON, MAK and SOWA. The evaluation is based on the analysis of 93 OPACs of school, pedagogy, private university and public libraries. The following factors were taken into consideration: the quality of data, software and general information on the system and its content. The results of the research point to potentially low efficiency of analyzed OPACs as regards the comprehensiveness and precision of information they offer. .
