- Factors Affecting Students' Information Literacy as They Transition from High School to College Varlejs, Jana Stec, Eileen Information Literacy High School Students High School Graduates Information Skills Librarians Librarian Teacher Cooperation Role College Freshmen Summative Evaluation School Libraries Scores Cooperation Reports Writing Assignments Bibliographies Assignments Budgets Educational Resources Educational Attainment Enrollment Interviews Despite the considerable attention paid to the need to increase the information literacy of high school students in preparation for the transition to college, poor research skills still seem to be the norm. To gain insight into the problem, library instruction environments of nineteen high schools were explored. The schools were selected based on whether their graduates did well or poorly on information-skills assignments integrated in a required first-year college course. The librarians in the nineteen schools were asked to characterize their working relationships with teachers, estimate their students' information-literacy achievement, and provide data on their staffing and budgets. Findings suggest that school librarians are seldom in a position to adequately collaborate with teachers and that their opportunities to help students achieve information literacy are limited.
