Features: If we rely solely on elementary information retrieval methods and techniques, without systematically learning and mastering advanced methods, techniques, and scientific knowledge of modern digital information retrieval, or depend solely on the closed information services of individual library resources, the content and quantity of information obtained will be very limited. We will fall behind others due to insufficient information, become an "information poor," create "information deserts" or "information gaps" in our knowledge chain, and ultimately fail to realize our intellectual potential. Faced with the vast expanse of digital information, we must fully understand digital information resources and their spatiotemporal distribution, digital information service systems and their utilization methods, digital information sources (databases) and their computer retrieval, search engines and open access, information needs and information retrieval evaluation, information utilization and academic paper writing. Only by comprehensively mastering the methods, techniques, and scientific knowledge of modern digital information retrieval can we integrate into today's information society and become wise members of the global information exchange community. Only in this way can we avoid losing knowledge in information and losing wisdom in knowledge.
