The Times

In order to cultivate information literacy among college students, the Chinese government has formulated a series of relevant policies as well as revised and adjusted the policy priorities along with the times. Guided by co-word and social network analysis, this study analyzes 170 policy texts that have been promulgated by the Chinese government from 1981 to 2020. Based on the clustering results of high-frequency keywords, this study explores the characteristics of policy evolution and its influencing factors from three dimensions: policy themes, contents of information literacy education, and the methods for cultivating information literacy education. Several suggestions have also been put forward in this article to improve the information literacy education policy for Chinese college students.

Practice Of Teaching

Previous research has demonstrated that professional narratives reference discourses that shape the practice of information literacy within higher education. This article uses discourse analysis method to identify how information literacy discourses construct and position teaching librarians within higher education. Texts analysed include four recent English-language models of information literacy and 16 textbooks. Analysis suggests the existence of two distinct narratives related to the role, expertise and professional practice of teaching librarians. In the outward-facing narrative librarian work is typically absent from guidelines for practice. In contrast, book introductions, which constitute the inward-facing narrative, centre professional librarians yet simultaneously position them as incompetent, or as lacking the skills and understandings that they need to be effective in this setting. These narratives constitute a form of othering that threatens professional practice at a time when the professionalisation of librarianship is being drawn into question. This article represents the second in a research programme that interrogates the epistemological premises and discourses of information literacy within higher education.

Scholastic Aptitude

Two word-association lists of 50 words were each administered to 50 Negro college students. 41 words were taken from the Kent-Rosanoff list, 29 from the Palermo-Jenkins list, and 30 were words used in analogy items of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Comparisons with previous normative studies showed generally similar results. The present study did result in slightly smaller proportions of matching from class primary responses to noun, pronoun, and adverb stimulus words and of opposite responses to “opposite-evoking stimuli.” A number of the responses indicated reading difficulty or misunderstanding of the word.
