Medical colleges and teachers do not pay enough attention to information literacy, only pay attention to the cultivation of medical knowledge and skills, and are limited to the use of the original category of libraries, so information literacy education activities are out of the question. Students don't know the relevant retrieval tools and systems of their major, what electronic resources they have, the range of documents contained in the relevant electronic resources and the methods and ways of retrieval. This not only affects the cultivation of information literacy, but also seriously affects students' recognition of their own information literacy cultivation. Insufficient understanding of the cultivation of information literacy. Computer literacy is technical preparation, and information literacy is its extension. Its common goal is to cultivate students' ability to acquire, analyze and apply knowledge. However, some teachers confuse the two and ignore the information literacy education. Naturally, they will not engage in this kind of training in a planned and purposeful way. Results Teaching only stayed at a shallow level. The teaching of information technology knowledge has not been promoted to a systematic level. Teachers often only emphasize the teaching of basic computer knowledge, ignoring the cultivation of students' ability to analyze and solve problems, and at the same time establish a benign consciousness of applying information technology to professional disciplines, which is precisely the key to talent cultivation. Nowadays, illegal acts such as infringement of others' copyright, online fraud, dissemination of computer viruses, and hacker attacks are endless. Frequently, it is even more necessary to ask students to clarify right and wrong and standardize their behavior through the cultivation of information morality, which will not only affect personal development, but also affect the stability of society and even the country. It is necessary for medical higher vocational colleges to carry out information literacy education. Now higher vocational students are required to have certain information literacy. With the explosion of knowledge, it is difficult for people to find and choose the information they need quickly and accurately. Information flooding, information explosion, information distortion, junk information, computer viruses and other problems not only interfere with people's thinking, but also greatly increase the difficulty of people looking for and screening information, which brings great pressure to people seeking correct information. 2. The need of modern education The purpose of higher vocational education is to cultivate applied talents with strong professional ability and high comprehensive quality. This requires students not only to have rich professional knowledge, but also to have high practical application ability. For a long time, vocational education aims at cultivating students' professional ability, but ignores the cultivation of students' other abilities. After graduation, students continue to learn new knowledge and accumulate new experience. They must rely on themselves to discover and collect the information they need. If we lack this ability in advance, it will be a great obstacle to students' future development. Therefore, strengthening the cultivation of students' quality in computer teaching is of great significance to enhance students' comprehensive quality and improve their professional ability. 3. Information literacy is an essential quality for innovative talents. At present, the disconnection between education and social practice is becoming increasingly serious. To solve this problem fundamentally, higher vocational colleges must cultivate innovative talents, and innovative talents must have the ability to collect, sort out, analyze, judge and use information efficiently in addition to profound professional knowledge and skills. 4. It is the demand of modern society to have information moral literacy. In reality, behaviors that disturb the healthy development of information resources abound, such as infringing intellectual property rights, plagiarizing scientific and technological achievements, and publishing false information. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out information ethics education in higher vocational colleges, which can urge students to follow relevant information ethics and norms, consciously regulate their own information behaviors and activities, and at the same time consciously resist the bad behavior of illegal use, acquisition and dissemination of information. Strengthen computer practice teaching and improve information literacy 1. Strengthen practical teaching and cultivate strong scientific interest. Practice teaching is an effective way to stimulate students' interest in learning. 2. Practice teaching is also an important way to cultivate students' scientific attitude of seeking truth from facts. Ignoring the objectivity of practice and only emphasizing the idealization of practical problems is not conducive to cultivating students' correct scientific attitude. 3. In practice teaching, we should pay attention to cultivating students' scientific literacy and scientific spirit of being brave in questioning. 4. Cultivate students' scientific methods of seeking knowledge through practical teaching. The education of students is subtle and persistent. The cultivation of information literacy in higher vocational colleges is closely related to whether students can effectively use information in the future, their performance in information ethics, their awareness of exploring information in the future and their ability to use information. 1. Change the teaching concept, change the educational concept from quick success and instant benefit to long-term quality education, and persist in implementing the educational concept of cultivating high-quality innovative talents in higher education. 2. Constantly improve the foundation of information literacy training In information literacy education, the library is an important place integrating information resources, retrieval, network and information teaching. Therefore, higher vocational colleges should strive to improve the level of campus informatization and build the school into a new platform for education, learning and scientific research that combines networking, intelligence and digitalization. 3. Strengthen the construction of teaching staff. Based on the resource advantages of the library, we should equip a team of teachers who are mainly literature retrieval teachers and supplemented by relevant teachers. Teachers' information literacy is an important prerequisite for improving students' information literacy. Therefore, it is urgent to improve teachers' professional level and train qualified education teachers. Information literacy is the basic survival ability of every member of society and the main direction of future education reform.
