With the diversification of information and the rapid development of information technology, and the arrival of the era of big data, information literacy has become one of the basic qualities that everyone must possess (Galvin and Jeanne 2006). This paper presents information literacy and review writing, data access autonomy and academic exchange activities to discover and explore, and the benefits of sharing learning resources. The survey shows the evaluation results of students' autonomy of learning and discusses the importance of improving the literature search and assistance provided by campus institutions such as libraries, and through the practical experience of international students to illustrate the teamwork for academic exchanges between China and foreign countries. The cultivation of information literacy driven by academic tasks and review writing plays an important role in developing a mature and universally applicable learning style, which is of great benefit to the academic quality training of graduate students. Through the feedback questionnaire, the student's literature review ability and the mastery of advanced search ability are analyzed to help teachers or scholars review students' ability and provide teaching models.
