Abstract | New information and communication technologies were widely perceived as something that would lead post-socialist European countries towards the technologically developed information society. In this article, a critical perspective is taken in examining information literacy as an ideological form. The deconstruction of ideological practice was performed using a text-based examination of the genealogy of justifying discourse, as found in official documents and policy statements regarding information literacy in Croatia. Croatian information literacy is too narrowly conceptualized as a means of preparing students for the demands of the EU and the global market, ensuring their employability and increasing the country's economic competitiveness. Further, in-depth interviews with 25 Croatian gymnasium professors showed how the ideology of information literacy is embodied in their beliefs. They aligned themselves with the neo-liberal imperative of ongoing retraining and saw information literacy as a means of providing students with technical skills. (Contains 1 footnote.)
