  abstract = {Even though information literacy implicitly comprises an idea of a complete~participation in an information community, the typical definitions of information~literacy have tended to underline seeking, searching, locating, receiving~and evaluation instead of information creation. Wilder (2005) has~criticised the concept information literacy for emphasising the problems of~searching instead of finding relevant information. The problematising of information~seeking places emphasis on the difficulty of searching and the~complexity of required skills. A more sensible approach would be to facilitate~information use rather than to teach searching using complicated tools.~All information sought by human-beings is mostly produced by their fellow~humans. Therefore an approach to decrease complexity of information~searching could to be to educate people to create more searchable and usable~information. This article discusses information creation as a part of the~concept information literacy. Besides technical problems, information creation~education is inevitably faced by the complexities of social and cultural~dimensions of information and information production.~},
