1 Develop network knowledge education and make effective use of network resources.
2 1 century is the world of information network. In the network world, users have a global online library that is not limited by time and space and has no wall obstacles, making resource sharing a reality. The network has changed the traditional teaching mode of students around teachers, textbooks and classrooms, which is conducive to the full play of students' learning enthusiasm and personality potential. The network integrates text, audio-visual and animation, allowing users to get the information they need and enjoy beauty at the same time. With the help of the Internet, college students can enjoy important events around the world in an instant, and their communication and communication are no longer affected by time asynchronous obstacles, which not only broadens their horizons, but also expands their living and development space. The network also extends teaching from classrooms to libraries and dormitories, and from campus to society, so that learners can never graduate, thus promoting the socialization and lifelong education. These functions of the network strongly attract contemporary college students and make the campus? Internet fever? With the increase of temperature, surfing the Internet has gradually become a convergent behavior in their study and life.
However, at present, China students' understanding and application of the Internet is still in the primary stage. Online activities are mostly for entertainment and communication, with less study and research, and some don't even go online. Even when studying and researching, many users lack the necessary information network knowledge, are not familiar with the network environment, do not know the database, can not make retrieval strategies, can not correctly choose retrieval exits, paths, methods and signs, and do not know how to classify and screen information. In addition, the huge amount, diverse types, repeated crossover, frequent metabolism and disorder of online information undoubtedly increase the difficulty of information acquisition and utilization. Solving the above problems in users' use is a new expansion of library's educational function under the network environment. Therefore, the library should publicize and cultivate network users and potential users by holding lectures, giving out user guides, holding knowledge contests, organizing netizen salons, and conducting online navigation, so as to improve students' understanding of the network, stimulate students' enthusiasm for surfing the Internet, and form a good learning atmosphere? Effective use of network resources.
2. Pay attention to information literacy education and improve Internet access.
The so-called information literacy refers to people's ability to acquire, evaluate, utilize and create information resources. This concept was put forward by American PaulZurkowski in 1974, which aroused strong repercussions in society. For example, Japan has incorporated information literacy education into the teaching system, focusing on training from primary school; The goal for the year 2000 set by the United States: American education law also explicitly requires students to know all kinds of information, and reach a fairly high level in information retrieval, collection, organization and processing. In China, quality education has increasingly become a hot topic in education. As an important part of quality education, information literacy is gradually put on the agenda in colleges and universities. The library serves the readers. It can be said that without readers, the library has no survival value. Without high-quality users, libraries lack the motivation to develop. Moreover, the library has unique information resources, academic environment, information talents and information technology advantages, which can be called an important position and the best place for schools to carry out information literacy education. Therefore, it is the responsibility and obligation of university libraries to carry out information literacy education under the network environment. The key to the cultivation of information literacy lies in improving students' information awareness and information ability.
2. 1 Enhance information awareness
Information consciousness refers to people's self-awareness of information needs, which is a reflection of information in information activities and communication with external information environment. It includes people's information demand psychology, information knowledge level and sensitive procedures, understanding of information environment, attitude towards information ethics and evaluation of information resources. To cultivate students' information consciousness, we must first change students' ideas and make it clear that information is an important social resource and wealth, a powerful driving force to promote social productivity and competitiveness, and the lifeblood of knowledge economy. Understand that without information awareness, information cannot be effectively used, processed, transmitted and developed. In addition, we should improve the information environment, cultivate good psychological quality and establish a reasonable knowledge structure. Through the cultivation of information literacy, students should have keen observation and accurate judgment, capture useful information in time from a large number of complicated information, and eliminate useless and harmful information, thus promoting the improvement of their comprehensive quality.
2.2 improve information capabilities
Information ability refers to people's ability to acquire, store, process, utilize and output information in information activities. Information literacy education is the focus of information literacy education and an important measure to cultivate students' independent thinking and innovation ability. To cultivate information ability, we should first improve students' network operation skills, such as correctly using search engines and subject guides, freely clicking on specific websites, webpages and contents, skillfully sending emails online, logging in remotely, and carrying out interlibrary loan.
Second, improve students' information acquisition and utilization skills, including helping them identify information sources, making retrieval strategies, and choosing the best retrieval ways and methods. , so that students can quickly and effectively obtain all kinds of information from libraries, electronic publications, databases and network resources, and make correct evaluation, timely processing, sorting, screening and downloading. The means to improve information ability can be implemented through online counseling, online navigation and retrieval courses. In particular, the information retrieval course itself is a method course and a skill course. If we take the skills of obtaining and using information as the goal, digital information resources as the main teaching content and network teaching as the main teaching means, and increase the opportunities of getting on the computer and surfing the Internet, students' online ability will be greatly improved.
3. Strengthen network moral education and build network civilization.
The application of Internet provides good conditions for college students' study and life, and also shows broad prospects for educational reform and development. However, the negative impact of the Internet cannot be ignored. Behind the extensive positive role of the network, there is a trap of depriving people's spirit, which directly affects the physical and mental health of teenagers and also brings adverse effects to families, schools and society. As an important position of ideology and culture, network will be occupied by decadent, vulgar and even reactionary ideology and culture if it does not occupy proletarian ideology and culture. Therefore, it is not only the new mission entrusted to the library in the information age, but also the unshirkable responsibility of the library to seize the commanding heights of ideological and political work, strengthen network moral education and build network civilization. To build network civilization, we must first improve students' understanding, establish correct values of network application and correct motivation for surfing the Internet. Secondly, we should strengthen monitoring and establish a strong? Firewall? , repel intruders and improve network security. Third, we should strictly manage, establish and improve various rules and regulations, standardize college students' online behavior, integrate the advocated ideas and moral standards into various management, and realize the organic unity of self-discipline and heteronomy. Fourth, we should actively elaborate the mainstream websites of libraries and campuses, and occupy the network positions with positive and healthy ideological and cultural information. Fifth, we should correctly guide and actively communicate with social hot and difficult issues and students' ideological trends to help students distinguish right from wrong and resolve their stubborn emotions in time. Sixth, comprehensively cultivate and improve students' network cultural quality, introduce students' network activities into study and research, and form a new style of study of civilized surfing the Internet and learning to use the Internet.
