Abstract

In the era of digital intelligence, information literacy (IL) competency has become a critical indicator for measuring the comprehensive quality and sustainable development potential of university’s education. Using Yancheng Institute of Technology as a case study, this study systematically elucidates the connotation and current development status of college students’ IL within the framework of sustainable development. An evaluation index system is constructed, comprising four dimensions: information awareness and attitude, information ethics, law and security, information knowledge and skills, and information integration and innovation. The study employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine the weights of indicators at various levels and integrates the Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Method (FCEM) to establish a quantitative assessment model for IL competency. Empirical research demonstrates that the proposed model effectively enables a multidimensional and quantitative evaluation of students’ IL, with results that exhibit sound scientific validity and applicability. Based on the analysis, specific strategies are proposed to enhance students’ IL from the perspectives of curriculum design, teaching models, and library services, thereby providing theoretical references and practical pathways for advancing informatization and sustainable development in higher education.
