Literacy, in the traditional sense, is defined as the ability to write and read. A literate person, in accordance with the meaning of the term, is someone who uses the written language in terms of spelling and grammar correctly. The meaning of the term literacy changes as technology advances and makes changes in social norms and requirements. The paradigm of literacy is changing in the world of today, for there is no longer sufficient to be able to write and read to meet the literacy criteria. For the last three decades the emergence of literacy has been constantly upgrading and expanding. Today, many types of literacy are discerned. For the purpose of this paper library, media, computer, digital and information literacy will be examined with an emphasis on information literacy. In their development, these literacies have sometimes been identified. The paper will give an insight on the path that the concept of information literacy has gone through so that today it would finally be referred to as a phenomenon derived from the need of the Information age, the emergence of computer technology and the Internet. However, in order to define the concepts of information literacy accurately, it is necessary to put it in the relevant social context, define it and standardize it. This paper will provide an overview of definitions and standards of information literacy and comparison of modern literacies. It will also try to point out that information literacy as the main literacy is incorporated within other literacies using a survey of one hundred respondents. The assumption of the main hypothesis will try to prove that respondents who have information literacy skills will also have other contemporary literacies skills.
