This era of 21st century is where new information appears every day, so that children and adults need information literacy. Even when the facilities are not sophisticated enough, society is still able to benefit from and enjoy information. Diljit Singh thinks that indonesia starts to have the awareness to new information. "From what I have learned, I think Indonesia has taken important steps through creating the awareness about information. It is done through institutions like Indonesian National Library, universities such as UPH, even school libraries. The most important thing now is how we teach people about information awareness," explained Singh.
