Abstract:
In the era of information overload, agricultural extension as agents of agricultural development needs to have information literacy because most of their main tasks and functions are related to the activities of collecting, processing and distributing agricultural information. This study aims to identify information literacy among extension workers and analyze the relationship between individual characteristic and information literacy among extension workers. The study sample was 80 extension workers in Cianjur Regency, West Java Indonesia. The method of analysis uses descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using Rank Spearman correlation to analyze relationships between variables. The results showed that the information literacy level of agricultural extension workers was classified as moderate, especially in storing and retrieving information, using information effectively and ethically, and communicating knowledge. Extension agents have a high ability in terms of recognizing the information needed, finding and evaluating it. Individual characteristic factors that have a real relationship with information literacy are age, formal education level, and working experience.
