The emergence of the Internet has exacerbated the problem of information overload. In fact, the “highly unstructured nature” of the Internet has contributed to the massive flow of information (Klausegger, Sinkovic, & Zou, 2007; Edmunds & Morris, 2000). Mengis and Eppler (2004), in a rich review of the literature, proposed numerous solutions to combat this phenomenon. Solutions included suggestions for equipping users with information skills (Badke, 2010; Bawden, 2001; Koniger & Janowitz, 1995; Edmunds & Morris, 2000, Cheuk, 2008) as well as considerations of information delivery systems (Kim et al., 2007) and methods of compression, aggregation and structuring of information (Ackoff, 1967; Grise & Gallupe, 1999/2000; Hiltz & Turoff, 1985, Iselin, 1988; Koniger et Janowitz, 1995; Scammon, 1977 Cited in Eppler and Mengis, 2004) as in websites and the important factors that depend on them such as structures and quality of content (Edmunds & Morris, 2000). An inherent consequence of such an approach towards the latter mentioned solution as well as the consideration of the impact of the WWW on all aspects of people's daily lives (Badke, 2009; Groc, 2005) has given rise to an increasing importance of website quality to meet user needs (Thielsch & Hirschfeld, 2010), with a strong emphasis on usability as an important indicator of quality (Hub & Hirschfeld, 2010). Zatloukal, 2009). However, usability studies primarily consider the presentation and functionality of websites rather than the information itself. For years, the concerns of website users have been information first, then delivery mechanism, respectively. The wrong information with the best presentation can result in a design with significant usability. problems that do not help users with their middle of paper...... they experience information literacy and its impact on their performance is of paramount importance.3- Considering the emerging nature of information literacy in the workplace (Hepworth & Smith, 2008; Lloyd & Williamson, 2008), arguments about the generalization of the concept of information literacy from educational to professional contexts (Hepworth & Smith, 2008) and also the considerable importance of this concept for the success of businesses (Breivik, 2005; De Saulles, 2007; Lloyd, 2003; Oman, 2001; O'Sullivan, 2002), it is necessary to have a broader overview of these individuals' information literacy experiences. an understanding of how web designers experience information literacy and how these experiences impact the structure of the websites they design, which has never been considered before.
