Building on the concern that high school and college librarians have that high school seniors are not ready to tackle the college library and college level research assignments, this book will offer practical help and guidance to high school teachers and librarians as well as inform students as to what they need to know. Grades 9-12.

Serving as a text/resource book for teachers of high school students, this title provides practical help in preparing students to be active lifelong learners and efficient seekers and users of information. It provides a comparison of the AASL Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning to the ACRL information literacy standards, including specific lessons to teach these standards; check lists to make sure students know, understand, and can demonstrate their use; and formative and summative assessment ideas to assure that the students are "information literacy ready" for college.
