The Literature on Information Literacy often assume that there is some inherent relation between Information Literacy and Information Technology and the concept of information literacy has been developed to meet the challenges generated by Information Technology in the form of Information Explosion. Such assumption also reflected in Information Literacy programs which are offered in the academic institutions. This paper argues that the concept of Information Literacy has been in use before the Information Explosion and it should be treated as an ability to understand the intricacies of information, as a tool for lifelong learning and a skill to use information effectively rather than giving more emphasis on technology,which can only make a computer literate who may be expert in using computer, but may not be able to evaluate and use the available information effectively.

The research method used a qualitative approach through research methods a descriptive to a librarian, four teachers, and 22 students at Al Haraki Islamic Junior High School, Depok, West Java.  Through observation, data collection techniques were carried out using a lifelong learning dimension checklist form, semi-structured and in-depth interviews, and literature studies. Data analysis techniques were data reduction utilizing open coding, data presentation, and concluding. Study results indicated that the librarian organized literacy programs supporting the School Literacy Movement. In practice, the librarian acted as the initiator; the teacher became the facilitator and the librarian's partner in developing literacy programs in school. The literacy program had a positive impact on students, including shaping character, increasing knowledge, developing special talents related to communication and writing, adding experience, building positive relationships between librarians and students, and intellectual recreation. Communication competence in foreign languages was one of the lifelong learning competencies that the school library program did not accommodate. The literacy program's obstacles were managing study time and the roles of parents and family at home. This study concludes that the school library literacy program has supported improving the implementation of lifelong learning competencies for students in several dimensions.

Computer And Information Literacy

Generic terms such as “computer literacy,” “computer competency” and “technology literacy” have been used for decades as measures of one’s aptitude with computer and information technology.  Many disregarded the ambiguity of these terms while erratic exposure to ever-changing computer technology rendered itself as computer literacy.   With an increasing focus on organizations now administering technology literacy tests, educators need to be more cognizant of the computer and information literacy assessments and the implications of these assessments for the core information systems course in business schools.
