The article presents the results of a survey carried out among the libraries of public universities at the beginning of 2010. The survey covered the methods of promotion of library services among new users of university libraries.

New information literacy portal Infogram was created for purpose of developing information education at Czech universities. Portal was created by three universities (Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Czech Technical University in Prague, University of West Bohemia) as an output of centralized development project coducted by Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. The project is responding to the needs of people, who are concerned with information education (librarians, teachers) and students who are not able to attend the regular classes or cannot visit libraries or information institutions (disabled students, students of distant learning courses etc.).

The article adverts to absence of special didactics for information literacy subjects and tries to show what didactic and epistemological approaches can be applied to information literacy education at secondary schools. The topic is illustrated using a particular example of the Business Academy and Higher Professional School in Valašské Meziříčí.

The final report is focused on the description and ordination of instruction for citation of literature which is located on WWW pages of the universities in the Czech Republic. In the preamble of the report, concept of information ethics and citation ethics is briefly described and a relation between bibliographical citation and Author’s Act in the Czech Republic is explained.

Related to instruction of literature’s citation, recommendation for improvement of the current state which is partly influenced by quality of citation’s standards and party by the form of their implementation to the praxis is formulated.
