Measuring information society: some methodological problems

The paper addresses methodological problem of measuring information society. Both, technical indicators and attitudinal measurements for Slovenia are discussed in this context. In particular, the results related to the interest for information society services are presented. The comparison between Slovenia and European Union - despite some methodological problems - shows that the interest for these services is extremely high in Slovenia. Other figures also confirm that Slovenian households and businesses are generally on European average with respect to the penetration of the basic information technologies. However, certain discrepancies with other sources of data call for more efforts in performing these kind of analysis.
