Welcome to the First Generation Student Library Guide

This Library Guide provides information on a variety of topics for first generation students (FGS) and their families. From academics to dorm life, the information is intended to help you prepare for your first year as a college or university student. A few of the resources on this site are restricted to those affiliated with Indiana State University; if you are not affiliated with ISU, contact your local public library or prospective college or university for assistance.
