Tried and True Techniques:
- Share books with classmates
- Rely on library reserve copies
- Buy books on-line from Get Cheap Books, Cheap College, or Cheapest Textbooks
- Save money by renting your textbooks at CHEGG.COM
- Buy Used from Amazon or Half
Nontraditional Approaches:
- Use free materials on-line such as Freeload Press, Textbook Revolution, and Safariu
- Complain to your department head as well as to your instructors - ask them develop their own on-line materials. I rarely use a text for the classes I teach. With Blackboard, Free Discussion Boards, Easy Blogging Tools, and Widgets, creation has never been so easy.
- For software training, ask the instructor to use Camtasia and post the files on the Net. A freebie that does the job is Cam Studio
