 ===Download the textbook===
-In this digital age, publishers are often making their textbooks available for download (at least to professors.)  I am told by other students that can download these for (ahem) free on something called the Internet.
+In this digital age, publishers are often making their textbooks available for download (at least to professors.)  I am told by other students that can download these for (ahem) free using [[file sharing]].
 Many texts can be downloaded legitimately for free. Many [[Core Curriculum texts]] were written by people who have been dead so long they're out of copyright. Some are so old they were never copyrighted to begin with. Crazy.

 ===Borrow the book===
-Sometimes the CU library system has the book you need in its regular collection. If not, you can usually check out a reserve copy from the library and photocopy what you need... or the entire book with our high-tech [[book scanner]]s. Another fruitful library strategy is to use [http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/requestit/borrow_direct.html Borrow Direct], which allows you to check out materials from a number of University libraries for a standard term of one month.

You can also check if any of the three public library systems in the city has the book (unlikely, but possible).

 ===Buy used textbooks ===
-The CU bookstore sells used textbooks, but also offers them frightfully expensive prices (usually about 10% off new.) For online shopping Powell's, Amazon, or eBay, generally offer better discounts. The [[Morningside Bookstore]] carries some used books as does [[The Strand]] downtown.
