Abstract: “Writing information literacy” promotes integrating information literacy into college
writing courses. Theories and pedagogical studies develop quickly in this field. The concept of
writing information literacy encourages collaboration between university libraries and other academic
departments, and fosters partnership among faculty members from various academic backgrounds. The
faculty members of the college writing and information literacy education at the Southern University of
Science and Technology have been working together to integrate information literacy education in the
first year’s writing course since 2018, and the practice has produced desirable learning outcomes. This
successful experience provides new pedagogical insights for“writing information literacy”.
