Abstract [eng] The objective of the research is to outline school librarians’ attitudes towards teaching information literacy by analysing teaching experience, the scope of courses taught, and attitudes towards motivation of teaching. Respondents to the survey were librarians from secondary schools in Lithuania and Poland. Respondents for the research were selected from the top 250 best secondary schools in Lithuania and Poland accordingly. Data for this study was gathered using Computer-assisted web Interviewing (CAWI) technique. The results of the survey showed that school librarians had more positive emotions about their teaching motivation than negative ones. We saw that school librarians concentrate more on finding information, but are less actively involved in developing skills on the use of the information found. Also, school librarians are more prone to speak about information sources and specific tools to find it rather than organising their teaching activities as a platform for building up learning experiences. For better insight, the analysis was carried out comparing results from Lithuania and Poland as well as linking emotions with job meaningfulness.
