Abstract

The library is an important platform for readers to acquire information, and also shoulders the responsibility to cultivate readers’ information literacy. How to enhance information literacy is a public service issue that warrants prompt solution. In this study, we establish a reciprocal teaching mode composed of four elements: teacher, student, learning content and interaction-supporting platform, based on the reciprocal teaching theory, in combination with the characteristics of information literacy training in information-based libraries, uses virtual reality (VR) technology to produce verisimilar teaching resources and build a virtual reading environment and a virtual reading community, to enable readers to discuss, read and evaluate under a dynamic reading mode. Meanwhile, a new reciprocal teaching technique of “Rain Classroom” is also introduced innovatively. We first conduct a quantitative evaluation on information literacy using fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, then verify and correct the evaluation results using data mining technology, so that objective and accurate results can be obtained for the evaluation of readers’ information literacy. After the implementation of this library learning mode, through a questionnaire survey and analysis, it is concluded that the proposed mode can help the library spread knowledge, improve the effect of information literacy.

Highlights

  • At present, with the expansion of the scale of network users around the world, we are faced with a realistic problem, that is, that the information literacy of users cannot keep up with the keep abreast of the Internet

  • In this paper, by taking the training of “information literacy” of public libraries as the reform content and combining with the interactive dynamic learning mode proposed in this study, we introduce virtual situated learning and the mobile communication technology of “Rain Classroom”, and build a new dynamic reading effect evaluation mechanism, based on the characteristics of information literacy training in library, with a view to improve readers’ information literacy and set up a new public library learning mode that is suitable for the development of big data society

  • By sorting out and analyzing literature, we discover that according to existing studies on the improvement of citizens’ information literacy and enhancement of the information literacy learning mode of library in various countries in the world, still citizens have a low information literacy, especially the ability to perceive network information and the ability to analyze and repudiate information

Summary

Introduction

With the expansion of the scale of network users around the world, we are faced with a realistic problem, that is, that the information literacy of users cannot keep up with the keep abreast of the Internet. The reading services they offer expand from simple borrowing and returning of resources to all-sided reference services and knowledge services, etc On this basis, in this paper, by taking the training of “information literacy” of public libraries as the reform content and combining with the interactive dynamic learning mode proposed in this study, we introduce virtual situated learning and the mobile communication technology of “Rain Classroom”, and build a new dynamic reading effect evaluation mechanism, based on the characteristics of information literacy training in library, with a view to improve readers’ information literacy and set up a new public library learning mode that is suitable for the development of big data society
