Abstract
COVID-19 requires students to be able to study independently, supported by information literacy skills. The purpose of this study is to conduct a self-assessment on the information literacy competency of students that they apply in learning activities during the COVID-19 outbreak in terms of gender and ethnicity. Respondents conduct a self-assessment of their information literacy competency. The total number of respondents are 200 from four tertiary institutions in the Indonesian-Papua New Guinea border area. In general, students have a moderate level of information literacy competence. Based on the findings of this study, females of non-Papuan ethnicity had the best level of information literacy among the other categories of respondents. The results suggest the following action that requires particular policies that are expected to improve this ability. The blended learning model is assumed to be most suitable for students in Papua who have limited infrastructure for learning activities during the COVID-19 epidemic.
