This study aims to propose a modular education model using classical texts based on the ACRL ‘Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education’ to cultivate advanced information literacy in humanities and social sciences graduate students. To overcome the limitations of existing skill-centered education, which is often disconnected from the research context of graduate students, this study incorporates the processes of information seeking and interpretation into the curriculum. Based on the six frames of the ACRL Framework, six modules were designed by matching classical texts that allow effective learning of the threshold concepts of each frame. In addition, grounded in the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model, this study designed an iterative instructional strategy that integrates reading, discussion, and writing. The modular model proposed in this study is flexibly applicable to various operational forms, such as regular courses, intensive vacation courses, and library extracurricular programs. It is expected to contribute to the growth of humanities and social sciences graduate students as critical information users and knowledge producers.
