contains legislation idea,law enforcement idea and law-abiding idea. The legislative basis refers
to setting the targets,margin and scope of public information services,clearly defining the
system and mechanism of management and services,and confirming the legal responsibility of
public information services in the government. The guarantee mechanism is composed of public
participation mechanisms,examination mechanism and service accountability mechanism etc.
This research uses the top-down design and overall plan to systematically discuss the process
of legalization of public information services,which contains the process of shifting from the
idea to legislation regime,and the construction to the implementation. There are two types of
contributions from this research. Theoretically,this paper could further enhance the top-level
design of legalization of public information services and construct an institutional system for
public information services in a more systematic way. Practically,this paper could provide ideas
for the continuous improvement and deepening reform of public information services in China and
benefit the realization of objects of “speeding the openness and sharing of government data,and
steadily promoting the openness of public data resources” proposed in “Action plan for promoting
the development of big data”,as well as satisfy public demands for various and personalized public
information services.

An information literacy education model of undergraduates in China based
on critical thinking and creativity
ZHANG Changhai ①a *

Information literacy,critical thinking and creativity are core capabilities essential for
undergraduates in the 21st century. The present study incorporates information literacy,critical
thinking and creativity in the same research spectrum,aiming at exploring the relationship and the
impact mechanism within them,thus providing the basis for an optimized model of information
literacy education.
In the present study,the author adopts the Chinese version of California Critical Thinking
Disposition (CTDI-CV),constructs questionnaires on information literacy and creativity,and
carries out a survey among students of six universities in China. Regression analysis,mediating-
effect analysis and path analysis are carried out based on the questionnaire data.
Through regression analysis and mediating-effect analysis,the author finds that there exists
positive correlation among information literacy,critical thinking and creativity. The regression
coefficient that information literacy has on critical thinking is 0.545；the regression coefficient
that information literacy has on creativity is 0.578；the regression coefficient that critical
thinking has on creativity is 0.229. Mediated by critical thinking,the regression coefficient
