Abstract: The article statistically analyzed the current status of information literacy education in the college and university libraries in Shanghai, including offered courses, teaching content, teaching models and evaluation, on the basis of which, the existing problems in teaching were identified and some countermeasures put forward. Data available for this study came from the online questionnaire surveys conducted by the “Information Literacy Education Status” project team of Chinese Ministry of Education, as well as from interviews and investigations of documents and web pages. Since the late 1980s when the course of “information literacy education” was first set up in the colleges and universities in Shanghai, great progress has been made. Nevertheless, some problems still exist, which include: (1) course development has been ignored; (2) teaching content for different levels of students (undergraduates and graduate students) is basically similar; (3) the course itself failed to be well integrated into different subjects or majors; and (4) teaching models are predominantly traditional and innovative teaching methods is missing. Several countermeasures and recommendations were presented accordingly.
