Information literacy (IL) refers to the ability of college students to recognize, acquire, evaluate, and utilize cultural resources in a networked environment. It is an essential competency for modern students, as their level of digital reading IL directly impacts both personal and societal development. By cultivating this literacy, students can enhance their capacity to access, assess, and leverage cultural information, thereby better adapting to the demands of an information-driven society. Consequently, fostering college students’ digital cultural IL remains a long-term and critical mission for higher education institutions (HEIs). In the paper, the network IL level of college students was investigated, and some problems were revealed, it will provide support for the enhancement of comprehensive IL ability of college students.
