The study presents conclusions regarding the possibility of adapting
the UNESCO MIL Competency Matrix and developing methodology for
information literacy assessment of the adult population. During field research in
a sample territory (Kekava district) and within an adult population target group,
the levels of information literacy are assessed, and information literacy
education needs are clarified. The research results can be used for the
development of diagnostic instruments for regional growth, planning of adult
education, elaboration of information literacy training programmes, as well as
for self-evaluation of information literacy competencies. The study has been
carried out within the framework of the European Social Fund project
“Development of Innovative Diagnostic Instruments for Regional Growth”.
