Garcia, and Marc McPhee  \nAbstract  \nUniversity and secondary school educators recognize many high school students will undertake a postsecondary education but find themselves unprepared for the academic demands once they arrive on campus. Although many high school students appear to possess basic abilities in retrieving information, particularly when searching the Internet, they often lack the critical evaluation skills needed to succeed at the college level (Jackson & Hansen, 2006). Developing the necessary information literacy skills among high school students to support a successful transition to college is a unique undertaking for any institution. The authors provide a case study of an outreach effort between an academic library and an urban high school during challenging budgetary times. Lessons learned from the development of their information literacy instructional program and the instructional tools created will be discussed. Student outcomes within the collaboration which include the development of research and critical thinking skills necessary to succeed after high school will be addressed as well. This collaboration may serve as a model for other institutions developing similar programming.  \nIntroduction  \nThe California State University Northridge (CSUN) Oviatt Library’s information literacy instructional program with Northridge Academy High School (NAHS) students was developed by Oviatt academic librarians, the NAHS teacher librarian and NAHS teachers to increase student achievement and to address the information literacy needs and critical thinking skills of these students while they are in secondary school and as they transition into higher education. Studies demonstrate high school students are graduating without the research and critical thinking skills needed to succeed with their studies at the college level (O’Sullivan & Dallas, 2010) . Possessing proficient research skills means being information literate with an ability to recognize an information need and be able to locate, evaluate and use the information effectively and ethically (ACRL, 2000). Critical thinking skills have been defined as “the intellectual and mental process by which an individual successfully conceptualizes, analyzes, synthesizes, evaluates, and/or applies information in order to formulate judgments, conclusions, or answers”(Allen, 2008, p. 23) . The“new generation of computer-literate undergraduates and the vast amount of information available by way of computers and electronic resources has increased the necessity for the development of [information literacy and] critical thinking skills”(Whitmire, 1998, p. 267) .  \nBolstering student information literacy skills while  \nthey are still in high school has been a practice of many academic librarians through collaborative instructional outreach during the last 20 years (Burhanna & Jensen, 2006) .“Declining retention rates, rising levels of remediation,[and] funding shortfalls” involving college freshmen reinforce the need to intervene (Burhanna & Jensen, 2006, p. 510) . Research suggests that one of the major reasons students are not successful in college is that the college course workload is fundamentally different than the demands of high school classes (Conley, 2007a) .“College instructors expect students to draw inferences, interpret results, analyze conflicting source documents, support arguments with evidence, solve complex problems that have no obvious answer, draw conclusions, offer explanations, conduct research, and generally think deeply about what they are being taught”(Conley, 2007a, p. 64) . All of these tasks require a high level of information literacy and critical thinking skills many high school students have not acquired. Yet many scholars note the importance of information literacy and critical thinking skills and how they a","cbCainBmawYimXQM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainBmawYimXQM","pdf",323062,14,"English","# Introduction\n# Literature Review","[{\"question\":\"Why do the authors focus on information literacy for high school students?\",\"answer\":\"High school students often retrieve information online but lack the critical evaluation skills needed for college-level work, making the transition unsuccessful without targeted support.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the program at California State University Northridge implemented with the high school?\",\"answer\":\"Oviatt Library librarians, the NAHS teacher librarian, and NAHS teachers collaborated to address information literacy and critical thinking needs while students were in secondary school and transitioning to higher education.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the literature review highlight as a need for high school and academic library collaboration?\",\"answer\":\"It emphasizes access to scholarly resources, the mismatch between research assignment expectations and school collection resources, and the benefit of introducing students to an academic environment to reduce anxiety.\"}]","Information Literacy Outreach - Building a High School Program at California State University Northridge | PDF",1792094658,35]
