Research Methodology: The research method is of a descriptive and correlational type. The statistical population of the study includes all university students of Jajarm city, among which 194 people were selected through relative category random sampling method according to the proposed formula of Fidell and Tabachnick (2007) and based on the number of students in each university. The data collection tools include Siamak and Davarpanah's information literacy (2008), Hermans' achievement motivation (1977) and Bouffard's self-regulation (1995) questionnaires which have face and content validity. The reliability coefficient using Cronbach's alpha was 0.86, 0.84 and 0.81, respectively. Data analysis was performed using Sobel test by SPSS. Findings: According to the statistical results, the strength of the relationship between information literacy and achievement motivation is 0.43, the relationship between information literacy and self-regulated learning is 0.20 and the relationship between achievement motivation and self-regulated learning is 0.41. The test statistic is 2.535, which is greater than the critical value of t at the level of 5% error, ie 1.96, and indicates that the observed correlation is significant. Conclusion: With 95% confidence, there is a relationship between information literacy and achievement motivation with the self-regulated learning mediating role in the university students of Jajarm city.
