In the 21st century,with the steady development of network technology,mobile network technology arises at the historic moment,and the degree of social informatization is also deepening.The information is particularly important in various fields of the current society,which results the lifelong learning becomes a new requirement for people to adapt to the information society.Acquiring and processing information have also become the basic ability for people to survive and develop in the information society,as well as the essential quality for people to have the ability of lifelong learning.As a group of undergraduates who have received higher education and are about to enter society,their level of information literacy determines to a certain extent whether they can quickly integrate into society.The characteristics of mobile network are real-time,precision and privacy.Under the network environment,the information in the mobile communication updating faster,so the mobile network environment of undergraduates' comprehensive quality put forward higher request,information literacy as a important link in the process of personal quality,information literacy education is particularly important.As a means to realize the purpose of information literacy education,it is necessary to explore whether the content of information literacy curriculum meets the requirements of the current society for undergraduates' information literacy.Combing through the literature,our study found that domestic scholars have carried out a certain research and information literacy curriculum for the problems put forward some countermeasures and suggestions.However,most of these countermeasures and suggestions for the traditional problems of information literacy education under the network environment.The mobile network environment,which can solve the problems that exist in the undergraduates' information literacy also need to further explore.In addition,previous studies have not systematically sorted out the content of information literacy courses for undergraduates,so it is not clear whether the content of courses can adapt to the mobile network era.On the basis of literature review,this study defined the connotation and related concepts of information literacy,investigated the current situation of information literacy of undergraduates through interviews and questionnaires,and learned the current situation of information literacy of undergraduates in the mobile network environment.Moreover,by combing the textbooks used in information literacy courses for undergraduates,the current content of information literacy courses for undergraduates is understood.Questionnaire data and course content are analyzed from five dimensions: psychology,science,technology,sociology and ethics.Finally,compared the deficiencies in the information literacy of undergraduates with the information literacy course content of undergraduates,aiming to find the deficiencies in the current information literacy course content of undergraduates,and then putting forward reasonable suggestions for improving the information literacy course content of undergraduates.The research found that the following problems appear in the course content of information literacy for undergraduates:(1)psychological aspects: lack of content to cultivate undergraduates' information awareness;(2)Science: lack of information discrimination;(3)Technology: lack of information utilization related content;(4)Sociology: lack of information exchange content,lack of information exchange innovation content;(5)Ethics: Lack of content to cultivate self-control ability of undergraduates.Therefore,in view of the problems in the course content of information literacy for undergraduates,the following suggestions are put forward :(1)to increase the content of information awareness training for undergraduates;(2)Increase the content to improve the information discrimination ability of undergraduates;(3)Increase content to improve the information utilization level of undergraduates;(4)Increase the content of improving undergraduates' ability of information exchange and innovation;(5)Increase content to strengthen self-control ability of undergraduates.
