Some of us OU faculty and staff have written what we’re calling “first gen narratives,” stories about our lives as first-generation college students. If you’re the first in your family to go to college, sometimes you don’t know what to expect. Here’s the link to our stories:

and here’s mine: http://sherribrari.blogspot.com/2008/08/first-gen-narrative.html
I just finished a book called, My Freshman Year by Rebekah Nathan. In the book, an anthropologist enrolls in her own institution, a large state U, as a freshman living in the dorm. She tries to understand the student mindset, and, in my opinion, nails it. Most instructive to me was the statement that students see classes as essentially the price of the beer party, and the dues for the job at the end. It is against undergraduate mores to discuss ideas at all. I kept remembering something I heard long ago, that those of us still education are the successful ones, and, by definition, not the norm. Lots more here to ponder.

I hate citation style guides. Thanks goodness there are websites that do that for you. See our list of websites (and our advice):
2 new facebooks apps can help with research:
Ohiolink search: OhioLink is the all-Ohio library catalog. It includes every college or university library in Ohio, and you can borrow from its 40 Million items with a few clicks. Books come here and you check them out and return them as if they belonged to OU. Too cool.
The URL for adding this application is:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=10904332507
Cite Me: Use this application to format your citations automatically. Based on the WorldCat database, this will set up many of your bibliography entries with no hassles. Caveat: always double-check the citations created by such programs! They do make mistakes. See post this blog for my anti-citation style rant, or see our library’s webpage about citation style, etc.
The URL for adding this application is:
A new website about college student health with a 101 tips by Christina Lum at RN Central, a nursing info site.
I liked this one:
Avoid walking to class in flip flops. While they may keep your feet cool and look good with your summer wardrobe, few flip flops provide the support needed for your feet. If you are walking long distances, it’s best to leave the sandals at home and avoid the arch pain and pinching associated with them.
The section about getting enough sleep includes a link to How to Pull an All Nighter from WikiHow.
Alden Library reaches out specifically to first year OU students to establish a connection between the library and good academic work early on. The program includes many components:
UC 115 / UC 190
These introduction to the university classes include a “library day.” Instructors will find detailed directions in the blackboard instructor’s site for these classes.
“Lemonade in the Library” is a part of Precollege campus tours, and librarians man an information table at the nightly resource fairs.
English 151
Each English class comes into the library for 2-3 hours of basic information literacy instruction. For more info: Wochna@ohio.edu.
Welcome Week events
Each fall, the library sponsors a unique event to welcome freshmen to campus. For more info: Saines@ohio.edu.
The Center for Writing Excellence CWE) is the office concerned with all aspects of student witing at OU. The Student Writing Center (SWC) is one of their programs. Their webpage explains exemption exams, the SWC, and faculty programs.
Also of use to you are the links they provide to the writing centers of other universities. Why? Because they have good tutorials and webinars that are open to everyone to use. I’ve already praised Purdue’s OWL, whose online tutorials are very useful, and CWE lists about 6 more such websites to help you.
