The notion "information culture" is explained, the findings of foreign studies are explored and summarized. The empirical evidence with regard to strengthening the information culture of students of Mordovian State Pedagogical University named after M.E. Evseviev is analyzed. It is argued that the active use in educational process of the academic disciplines and internships with the upgraded content developed by university allow to train highly competitive graduates demanded in the labour market, meaning that the professional training of a modern teacher should be revolving around fostering their information culture.
