The article adopts the network research method to sort out the overview of digital literacy education for librarians in America, and focuses on analyzing the characteristics of its education content, including the emphasis on the application of digital technology and the development of skills, focusing on the library user service scenarios, focusing on the cultivation of professional ethics and literacy, and advocating career enhancement and self-development. On this basis, combined with the current situation of digital literacy education for librarians in China, it is proposed that China should build a digital literacy education content system for librarians from four aspects: strengthening the education content related to library wisdom services, providing professional education content for professional characteristics, cultivating digital ethics and moral norms for librarians, and paying attention to the lifelong learning and development of librarians, so as to enhance the level of librarians' digital literacy.
