We have trial access to OECD's new iLibrary product, the successor to SourceOECD, until the end of the year.
OECD iLibrary is the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Online Library for Books, Papers and Statistics and the gateway to OECD’s analysis and data. Access is available for titles published from January 1998 onwards.
Each August since 1998, Beloit College has released the Beloit College Mindset List. It provides a look at the cultural touchstones that shape the lives of students entering college this fall. Most of these students were born in 1992.
The Mindset List was originally created as a reminder to faculty to be aware of dated references, and quickly became a catalog of the rapidly changing worldview of each new generation. The Mindset List website at www.beloit.edu/mindset, the Mediasite webcast and its Facebook page receive more than 400,000 hits annually.
Some of the items on the list:
Few in the class know how to write in cursive.
John McEnroe has never played professional tennis.
Clint Eastwood is better known as a sensitive director than as Dirty Harry.
DNA fingerprinting and maps of the human genome have always existed.
They’ve never recognized that pointing to their wrists was a request for the time of day.
There have always been women priests in the Anglican Church.
It's hard to believe that we are already into the second week of the semester and the first week of August!
