ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to analyse the usefulness of information literacy education for the over 50-years older adults in Daegu, Korea. To achieve this objective, data were collected through the questionnaire survey and interview. Of the 311 valid data were categorized into two groups in accordance with their experience of information literacy education, and analysed using AMOS for the structural equation modeling. As the results, both groups showed that the information literacy education influences positively among in ‘information convenience’, in ‘information usefulness’ and in ‘life satisfaction’. Also, regardless of their experience of information literacy education, the group revealed that ‘information convenience’ positively impacts on the ‘life satisfaction’, however, ‘information usefulness’ did not show any significant relationship with the ‘life satisfaction’ in this study.
