O’Sullivan and Kim B. Dallas  \nAbstract  \nBusinesses and higher education leaders are looking for students with the ability to evaluate and analyze information and to use this information to solve real-world problems. These are the information literacy skills students need for the 21st century. However, several recent studies on the ability of college freshmen to handle the rigor of college courses and research indicate that high school students are not being adequately prepared to apply these skills. The authors provide a case study of a collaborative effort between an English teacher and the high school librarian to better prepare high school seniors on how to locate reliable information, analyze the information and then determine how it can be applied to solving a real world issue or problem.  \nIntroduction  \nThe goal of any high school is to ensure that its students have the knowledge and skills they need to be successful in college and in the workplace. However, several recent studies have claimed high school students are graduating without the necessary basic skills they need to be successful in college or at work. High schools throughout the country are being pushed to redesign and align their curriculum with college readiness standards. The problem is that there is no consensus among postsecondary institutions as to what constitutes “readiness”, and “readiness” may vary from institution to institution (Olson, 2006, April 26) . This article will focus on how a high school research paper class, as an example, can be designed and structured to give high school seniors an opportunity to experience what college level research and writing involves.  \nA study conducted by ACT, Inc., entitled “Rigor at Risk: Reaffirming Quality in the High School Core Curriculum”(2007), states that to eliminate the essential skills gap between secondary and postsecondary education needed to be successful in college, high school courses should be made more rigorous. Many of these studies have focused on the basic reading, writing and math skills needed for college entry. However, simply requiring high school students to take more years of math, science and language arts will not ensure their success in meeting the rigorous academic requirements of college or the workplace.  \nThe Partnership for 21st Century Skills, which includes the business community, education leaders and  \norganizations, believes high school graduates must obtain strong learning skills in information gathering, communication, critical thinking and problem solving (Jobs for the Future, 2005) . High school students need to be taught these sophisticated “higher-order” skills, such as the ability to locate and analyze complex information in order to solve real world problems.  \nFor high school students to obtain these “higher-order”skills, the Partnership’s agenda calls for high schools to align their graduation requirements “with college and workplace entrance expectations”(Jobs for the Future, p. 12) . An earlier report from the National Commission on the High School Senior Year recommended a similar strategy through the creation of K-16 councils in every state in order to strengthen relationships between high schools and two and four year institutions (Woodrow Wilson, 2001) . Perhaps one of the reasons for the skills gap between highschool and college is the fact that student standards are established in separate orbits. K-16 faculty members rarely work together on standards, curricula or assessment (Callan & Kirst, 2008) .  \nOther studies also include critical thinking and research skills into their definition of college readiness skills. These studies have found that high school students are not being adequately prepared for the rigors of a college research assignment.
