Access, Opportunity, and Success by Martha E. Casazza; Laura Bauer
Call Number: LA227.4.C37 2006
ISBN: 0275989658
Publication Date: 2006-01-30
Behind the hallowed walls of higher education are students who did not grow up expecting to attend college, students who walked through open doors not knowing what to expect on the other side. For some, these open doors became revolving doors, and they simply gave up. For many others, however, there were unexpected successes, successes that included more than academic accomplishments. These people came through the system with an increased sense of self-confidence that empowered them in the world beyond college.
Remaking College by Mitchell L. Stevens (Editor); Michael W. Kirst (Editor)
Call Number: LA226.R475 2015
ISBN: 9780804793292
Publication Date: 2015-01-07
Between 1945 and 1990 the United States built the largest and most productive higher education system in world history. Over the last two decades, however, dramatic budget cuts to public academic services and skyrocketing tuition have made college completion more difficult for many. Nevertheless, the democratic promise of education and the global competition for educated workers mean ever growing demand. Remaking College considers this changing context, arguing that a growing accountability revolution, the push for greater efficiency and productivity, and the explosion of online learning are changing the character of higher education.

Lesson Plan by William G. Bowen; Michael S. McPherson
Call Number: LA227.4.B685 2016
ISBN: 9780691172101
Publication Date: 2016-03-29
American higher education faces some serious problems--but they are not the ones most people think. In this brief and accessible book, two leading experts show that many so-called crises--from the idea that typical students are drowning in debt to the belief that tuition increases are being driven by administrative bloat--are exaggerated or simply false.
American Higher Education in Crisis? by Goldie Blumenstyk
Call Number: LA227.4.B59 2015
ISBN: 9780199374083
Publication Date: 2014-10-13
American higher education is at a crossroads. Technological innovations and disruptive market forces are buffeting colleges and universities at the very time their financial structure grows increasingly fragile. An extremely timely and focused look at this embattled and evolving arena, this primer emphasizes how open-ended the conversation about higher education's future remains, and illuminates how big the stakes are for students, colleges, and the nation.
The Magic Key by Ruth Enid Zambrana (Editor); Sylvia Hurtado (Editor); Patricia Gándara (Foreword by)
Call Number: LC2682.M35 2015
ISBN: 9781477307250
Publication Date: 2015-10-15
Mexican Americans comprise the largest subgroup of Latina/os, and their path to education can be a difficult one. Yet just as this group is often marginalized, so are their stories, and relatively few studies have chronicled the educational trajectory of Mexican American men and women. In this interdisciplinary collection, editors Zambrana and Hurtado have brought together research studies that reveal new ways to understand how and why members of this subgroup have succeeded and how the facilitators of success in higher education have changed or remained the same.
Growing up Muslim by Andrew Garrod (Editor); Robert Kilkenny (Editor); Eboo Patel (Introduction by)
Call Number: LD1435.45.G76 2014
ISBN: 9780801479151
Publication Date: 2014-04-15
"While 9/11 and its aftermath created a traumatic turning point for most of the writers in this book, it is telling that none of their essays begin with that moment. These young people were living, probing, and shifting their Muslim identities long before 9/11.... I've heard it said that the second generation never asks the first about its story, but nearly all the essays in this book include long, intimate portrayals of Muslim family life, often going back generations. These young Muslims are constantly negotiating the differences between families for whom faith and culture were matters of honor and North America's youth culture, with its emphasis on questioning, exploring, and inventing one's own destiny."

Call Numbers

What's a call number?

The book's address on the shelf.

It helps you locate one book among the hundreds of thousands in the FSU Library.

How do I use it?

Look at the letters at the beginning - these represent the subject section and the floor you need to go to. Call Numbers that begin with A-F are on the 3rd floor, G-Z are on the 4th floor.

Each shelf has a Call Number range. Match the letter(s) to the shelf and then the first set of numbers. Read the first set of numbers as a whole number. e.g. BF1456 = 1,456 and would come after BF145.6

Then match the rest of the Call Number to the labels on the spines of each book.
