According to Krejcie and Morgan Table, 270 subjects were selected with stratified random sampling method. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used for modeling. The results showed that information literacy had a direct effect on entrepreneurial capability (pc=0.19) and creativity (pc=0.44). “The ability to access information” (factor loading=0.81), “the ability to use targeted information” (0.76), “the ability to understand the legal and economic information” (0.33), “the ability to critically evaluate information” (0.31) and “the ability to understand the extent and nature of the information” (0.16) played the most important roles in influencing entrepreneurial capability and creativity.
