    Reserve books are vital for students without much money or rely on financial aid. When I was briefly attending out-of-pocket, before my financial aid was reinstated, the reserve books enabled me to afford food better than ramen.

    Electronic publishers sometimes have the first few weeks free while students wait for their disbursement, but are still often prohibitively expensive, and you don’t end up owning your book after the end of class. In my opinion, Professors should avoid using them if at all possible.

    The library has a copy machine with free scanning to pdf capabilities, if you own a flash drive. This means you can scan a chapter at a time to a digital format that can then be read on your computer or other device. This semester, the only book I will have to pay for is the required Riley online course.
