For the evaluation of information literacy of students we developed as a measuring instrument within the project a nev test ( Information Literacy Test – ILT) [project documentation COBISS.SI-ID 1575772]. In the first phase, the authors prepared a collection of 80 multiple choice questions, from which in the process of optimization and selection 40 multiple choice questions were selected for the final version of the test. Each question offers a choice of four possible answers, arranged in the alphabetical order, of which only one answer is correct. To explore students' habits and usage of ICT, four modules with additional questions were added to ILT, to collect data on (1) which ICT devices have students in their possession, and how often they use them, (2) to which extent students use different ICT applications, (3) to which extent they use ICT in the study subjects, and (4) how confident they feel when working on the World Wide Web [article COBISS.SI-ID1261406]. The test was successfully validated, published the full text in English [article COBISS.SI-ID 1585756], and will be published in the full text in Slovenian [article submitted to the journal Knjižnica/Library: SILT - Students' information literacy test in Slovenian language - Boh Podgornik B. , Bartol, T., Šorgo A., Rodič B., Dolničar D.]. ILT was also translated into Serbian language and used in collaboration with researchers from the Faculty of Agriculture in Novi Sad to evaluate the IP Serbian students in 2016 [Bartol et al., article in preparation).
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 1585756Correct referencing of bibliographic sources is an important aspect of information literacy of students and researchers. Aiming to increase the tool applicability for the users, particularly for students and researchers, the following software improvements and new algorithms were implemented: (1) Bibliography data entry forms were updated - with the corrections in translations and selections of entry fields, the interface of the bibliographic tool in Word became more useful to the broad range of users; (2) Two new bibliographic styles were created, compatible with bibliography citation rules as defined by the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering and the Faculty of Health, University of Ljubljana; (3) Two programmes were produced for import and export of bibliographic sources between Word XML and RIS formats; (4) An algorithm for bibliographic sources capture from text into Word XML was designed - indicating a solution for conversion of static text format of a bibliographic source into a structured bibliographic record; (5) An algorithm was designed for composing a bibliography style from style parameters, given in a table form – this provides a basis for the design of new bibliographic styles in BibWord format. New bibliographic styles were implemented in two formats: a) by modification of an existing built-in style, and b) by modification of a compatible bibliographic style in BibWord format. The link between the Word and the RIS bibliography format practically enables the import of bibliographic sources from online databases into Word, and transfer of bibliography into other bibliography management tools. The implementation of the algorithm for source capture will facilitate data entry for sources that only exist in a static text form, while the algorithm for the style creation will make it easier to add new styles to Word.

F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
B. Boh Podgornik was a supervisor of a doctoral student B. Šumiga in the Ph.D. programme of Scentific and technical informatics. The dissertation is a representative example of a successful combination of information literacy of graduate students, and a problem solving approach in natural sciences. Transfer of knowledge into industry: the doctoral student was a young researcher, who is now employed in industry (Iskra mehanizmi) and at the faculty )member of project group). The work was also presented in: ŠUMIGA, B.. Understanding and use of information literacy in the industrial project management. V: KURBANOGLU, Serap (ur.). Information literacy : moving toward sustainability : third European conference, ECIL 2015, Tallinn, Estonia, october 19-22, 2015 : revised selected papers, (Communications in Computer and Information Science, ISSN 1865-0929, Vol. 552). Cham [etc.]: Springer, 2015, str. 90-98, doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-28197-1_10. [COBISS.SI-ID 1253214] The contribution presents an example of transferring information literacy competencies from a Ph.D. academic environment into the industrial environment in the field of polymeric chemistry. In addition, the results of a study including research, collection, ranking, and testing of available tools for project management of projects in the field of injection moulding are presented with exploration of methods and techniques for problems solving from brainstorming to the TRIZ system. The experiences gained through leading of projects in an industrial environment with awareness of importance of information literacy are presented and discussed, including some recommendations for project management: Project documentation should be transformed to the “knowledge database of the company”; Process of “the right” information transfer inside the project team needs to be controlled; Transition from “traditional” problem solving to inventive solving of problems; and, People competences should be constantly upgraded.
