This paper aims to discuss the information literacy learning model for students of the Library and Information Science Study Program, Universitas Negeri Padang (PS-PII-UNP). One of the information literacy learning models that can be used is the Project Based Service Learning (PjBSL) learning model in facing the challenges of the 21st century. The challenges of student learning mastery, especially in information literacy courses, are having the ability to access, evaluate, organize and use information in the learning process, problem solving, making formal and informal decisions in the context of learning, homework or in education. Information literacy for university students is an advantage that is recommended in the process of education and their life skills with insight into humanity, nationality, and civilization related to visible phenomena and events. Project Based Service Learning is a learning model that uses projects as the main activity in the learning process and this activity is under the direction or guidance of the lecturer. The PjBSL learning model places students as the center of learning (student centered). This model is one of the experiential learning that provides a learning experience in the form of providing service tasks to the community. The hallmark of this model is the learning process that is integrated with field experience and a process of reflection. To improve student learning outcomes, it is necessary to develop an interesting, impressive and meaningful iInformation literacy learning concept. Through interesting, impressive and meaningful learning, students no longer consider information literacy as a boring subject so that students' information literacy skills can be improved, and thus student learning achievement can also increase.
