New concepts and strategies of learning, resulting from the economic needs of the society, have brought about many new concepts and new content of those already in use. At the same time, the development of new technologies, most of all the information technology, broadened the existing and set off new opportunities in the economic, cognitive and social field. To fully understand the use of the existing, although already established terminology, it takes more. Adequate communication of knowledge is not possible any more. Even mutual communication between a teacher and a student is not without difficulty. While managing professional and work problems, without strategy and language policies we resort to provisional solutions, diminishing the culture of the language and its users, as well as the possibility of the nation’s equal rights in the global world. For nine years, Islovar, the online terminological dictionary of informatics, has been edited by the Slovenian Society of Informatics. Judging by the frequency of search, it has been successfully answering the issues concerning Slovene terms in informatics. The author's intention is to investigate the present state of the Slovene terminology in general and by some concrete examples, exposing some problems and solutions which might help other terminology fields.Nova koncepcija in strategija učenja sta na to strokovno področje prinesli številne nove pojme in nova pojmovanja že uveljavljenih. Hkrati pa je razvoj tehnologije, še posebej informacijske, učenju razširil dosedanje in odprl nove možnosti na ekonomskem, kognitivnem in socialnem področju. Z dosedanjim, čeprav uveljavljenim, strokovnim izrazjem se ni mogoče več polno sporazumevati in ni možno nemoteno pretakati znanja. Okrnjene so celo sporazumevalne možnosti učiteljev z učenci. Pod pritiskom strokovnih in delovnih težav, a brez strategije in jezikovnih politik, se zatekamo k zasilnim rešitvam, od katerih nekatere jeziku in njenim uporabnikom jemljejo omiko, narodu pa možnost enakopravnega uveljavljanja v globalnem svetu. Deveto leto pri Društvu informatika deluje Islovar, to je spletni slovar informatike, ki ne glede na pomanjkanje strategije, če sodimo po obisku, uspešno odgovarja na vprašanja o izrazju v informatiki. Vsebuje tudi zbirko Izobraževanje. S primerom Islovarja želimo na splošno in s konkretnimi primeri osvetliti sedanje stanje na področju slovenskega strokovnega izrazja, prikazati nekatere težave in tudi rešitve, ki bi lahko pomagale drugim strokam
