The results show that the total scores of medical students' information awareness, information knowledge, information ability, information ethics and information literacy have been greatly improved after the teaching reform [(11.56±1.37) vs. (15.64±1.88), (10.28±1.33) vs. (16.50±1.64), (9.50±1.29) vs. (15.22±1.90), (10.04±1.23) vs. (14.81±1.57), (41.92±3.20) vs. (61.59±3.57)], with statistical significance ( P<0.001). The medical significance shows that the teaching reform based on the construction of the library's diversified information source system can significantly improve the information literacy level of medical students.
