Abstract:

High school students in less developed area are not quite lack of internet access. Internet is their most important source of information, but its credibility is not deemed to be high. Besides, their usage of information is rather limited. Subjectively, they regard study as the main obstacle to get information. But the research reveals that there is no significant correlation between their academic records and information access. This paper considers that their confusion about how to use information and the lack of information literacy are the real and fundamental obstacles to get information. Based on current situations, it also gives some advices on the construction of primary library and the revolution on network information courses.

Key words: primary library, information access, information literacy, internet
