Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between users, information objects, information systems and the Web, combined with the concepts findability and information literacy. An important aspect in all information literacy definitions is the ability to effectively gain access to the information needed. But the information is not equally available, even if it is published and freely available on the Web. Each Web page, or other information object, has a degree of findability. The degree of the findability depends on the relationships between object, system and the Web. Six sub concepts are identified: the object's characteristics, accessibility, internal navigation, internal search, reachability and web prestige. Both information literacy and findability are defined as query independent aspects of the search, working on a structural level.
