Gillian Oliver (2003), in her multiple case-study of organizational and information culture in distance education institutions in Australia, Hong Kong, and Germany, argued that the values accorded to information, and attitudes towards it are indicators of "information culture" within organisational contexts and that these values and attitudes are likely to be shaped by interactions within and across the various layers of organisational culture - national, occupational and corporate (p. 288 as cited in Choo et al, 2008).

Adam Briggle and Carl Mitcham in the article From the Philosophy of Information to the Philosophy of Information Culture suggest:

The technological and economic changes associated with the information society are accompanied by cultural changes, including lifestyles, patterns of consumption, and modes of cognition and experience. What cultural studies helps us see, however, is that information culture cannot be understood solely in terms of extrinsic information "impacting" pre-established cultures. Rather, the term asks us to conceive of distinctive information cultures, the values and practices of which are constituted by and oriented around information - information as culture, not just information for, in, or about culture. This phenomenon has gone under several names including new media culture, Internet culture, and cyberculture. Our suggestions have been motivated by an effort to extend the philosophy of information into a philosophy of information culture in ways that might bridge tensions between engineering expansionist and humanities limitationist approaches to the philosophy of technology in general and of information technology in particular.
