In a contemporary, extremely multi-dimensional world, which is increasingly becoming defined by new media forms of communication, the question of literacy also needs to be defined in its plural form, since in addition to the known, i.e. literary literacy, other forms of literacy are becoming topical in the light of one's necessity to orient through modern documents, which are increasingly engaging the multimedia, and to navigate through their collections. One such type of literacy is also literacy for the world wide web, which is dealt with in the present article in the sense of reading and writing web documents, navigating through the web and reading non-linear, specifically rhizomatic structures, demanding from the user an understanding of labyrinth environments and the ability to navigate through them. Web literacy also presupposes the ability for subtle processes of identification, for working with virtual environments and for understanding the logic of databases.
