The concept culture, and consequently information culture, has different meanings and can be considered from different points of view. In the paper, we consider culture (and information culture) in the anthropological sense as a common attainment of the members of a community, gained in the course of their activity.In this contexts, a question of the base of development of information culture as a mental infrastructure of information society arises. In the paper, we formulate the following desiderates in this area:1) There is a need of a systematic development of the consciousness of the crucial role of information in society.2) There is a need of forming a habit of information thinking in the sense of considering the realty in terms of information and information processes.3) Information culture implies a permanent development of knowledge on information: its functions, properties, etc.4) Information culture requires a systematic education – beginning at the school education, and continuing at the high level at the universities.
