Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Through investigating the practice progress of international students' information literacy education in Chinese university libraries, the authors put forward feasible development countermeasures and provide reference for Chinese university libraries to carry out the international students' information literacy teaching services to support the universities' "double first-class" strategies and international construction.[Method/process] Two questionnaire surveys were conducted among 104 librarians from 91 university libraries which had carried out international students' information literacy education in eastern, western, southern and northern China, and 20 international students in Shanghai Jiao Tong University respectively. Through the statistical analysis of the survey results, this paper analyzed the advantages, disadvantages and strategies of information literacy instruction for international students in university libraries in China.[Result/conclusion] The information literacy education of international students has been carried out in more than half of the university libraries in China. It is characterized by diversified teaching staff, multi-dimensional teaching types and contents, and various teaching methods and languages. There are some deficiencies in the information literacy education for international students, such as the need to strengthen the cultivation of information literacy of international students, the urgent need to strengthen the information literacy education of international students, the lack of teaching staff, and the improvement of teaching ability of librarians. We should strengthen the top-level design of international students' information literacy education, strengthen the construction of foreign students' information literacy teaching staff, pay more attention to the improvement of librarians' teaching ability, and try to use new teaching methods of information literacy.
