New hybrid approaches, complementing the best features of the traditional and technological paradigm have emerged in higher education. Hybrid approach, often labeled as blended learning present thoughtful integration of classroom face-to-face learning experiences with online learning experiences.

Therefore, at the beginning of the year 2006 we have started the project Users inmotion to please which was supposed to gather and transform the entire faculty’s informationservices in order to respond to the users growing demands and to keep the pace with thetechnological changes. Our goal was to offer end-users (teachers, students, employees) easyaccess to information and information services even when they are “in motion” i.e. accessingthem via their mobile phones, PDAs, smartphones and laptops from the faculty or anywhere inthe world.

The differences are presented from the Croatian user perspective showing their positive and negative aspects. Additional analysis of curriculum regarding computer literacy is done in the light of decreased funding for schools by the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. User survey was conducted at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb to investigate usage of different software packages. Different approaches to computer literacy education are compared in the light of ongoing financial crisis in Croatia taking into account open and closed source software.

Majority likes to read only a book they find interesting and mostly mandatory literature that is very popular–like Harry Potter. Secretly downloading of the book analysis from the Internet has become an unspoken rule. Many websites 1 offer the analysis for each book from the full list of obligatory literature.

Communication and information technology has put tremendous stress on the skills necessary to provide, organise and retrieve information, as well as to develop and support information systems. Therefore it is of the concern of the whole community how the profile of the information professional is moulded and which competences they acquire through the education.
