On the Significance of Information Literacy Education for College Students
Information literacy is a concept with rich contents. It includes not only the ability to use information tools and information resources, but also the ability to select and obtain identification information, process, process, transmit information and create information. The information literacy of normal college students is the attitude towards information activities and the ability to solve problems by using information and information means according to the requirements of social information environment and information development in the process of receiving school education and self-improvement. It should include not only the normal students' understanding of the basic information knowledge, the mastery of the use of information tools and the study of information knowledge in future teaching, but also the understanding and observance of information ethics. Specifically, it mainly includes four aspects:

1. Information awareness. That is, human information sensitivity is people's understanding, feeling and evaluation of various phenomena, behaviors and theoretical viewpoints in nature and society from the perspective of information. Generally speaking, in the face of things you don't understand, you can take the initiative to seek answers and know where and how to seek answers. This is information consciousness. In the information age, all kinds of information are everywhere. Whether we can make good use of the existing information materials is an important embodiment of people's strong information consciousness. The consciousness of using information technology to solve work and life problems is the most important point in information technology education.

2. Information knowledge. It is not only the theoretical basis of information science and technology, but also the basic requirement of learning information technology. Only by mastering the knowledge of information technology can we better understand and apply it. It not only reflects the richness of normal students' information knowledge, but also restricts their further mastery of information knowledge.

3.f's speaking ability. Including the basic operation ability of information system, the ability of information collection, transmission, processing and application, and the ability of evaluating information system and information. This is also an important viability in the information age. In the information age, if you only have strong information consciousness and rich information common sense, but not high information ability, you can't effectively use various information tools to collect, obtain, transmit, process and process valuable information, improve learning efficiency and quality, and can't adapt to the requirements of future teachers in the information age. Information ability is the core of information literacy. Normal students must have strong information ability, otherwise it is difficult to survive and develop in the information society.

4. Information ethics. To cultivate students' correct information morality, students should learn to judge and choose media information, consciously choose content that is useful for their study and life, consciously resist unhealthy content, do not organize and participate in illegal activities, and do not use computer networks to engage in activities that endanger other people's information systems and network security and infringe on their legitimate rights and interests. This is also an important embodiment of the information quality of normal students. The four elements of information literacy constitute an inseparable and unified whole. Information consciousness is the forerunner, information knowledge is the foundation, information ability is the core, and information morality is the guarantee. As a teacher in the information age, improving their information literacy is also the most basic need of education. References:
