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.
