19.College can be a shock to the senses for many students.It can also be a shock to the wallet.Students can easily drop 200on a single textbook-and that's just one book,for one class.Finding no-cost options for all of the books on your list may not be possible,but even one or two free books can save students hundreds of dollars.Below are a few resources to start your search for free textbooks.University Library
University libraries house thousands of books."Go to your college's library as soon as possible when school starts with a list of the textbooks you need.Have the author names and publication dates with you.If the library has it,see if you can check it out or if it's to be used only in the library,"says Jon Lal,founder of the savings website BeFrugal.com.
Book Swap
Textbooks collect dust as soon as the term ends.So why not let someone else use it?
Student organizations at schools such as Georgia College and the University of Florida set up online book exchanges.These sites allow undergraduates to list books they have and books they need in hopes of finding a match.If your campus doesn't have a book exchange,start one.Book swaps only work if students participate.
Project Gutenberg
The oldest digital library in the world offers more than 43,000e-books,completely gratis(无偿).Comparative literature students taking only Jane Austen at Binghamton University,for example,can find every book on their syllabus(课程表) via Project Gutenberg.
E-readers
Amazon's Kindle Lending Library allows members to check out e-books for free.Students will be able to find both popular and classic titles.
There is a catch,though.To use the Kindle library,students need to own the namesake(实名制) e-reader.They also need to subscribe to Amazon Prime,which is 39per year for college students.
Students may find PDFs of textbooks posted online,too,but downloading those copies can get them into copyright waters.And even so,searches may bear little fruit.Generally,students won't be able to find many free textbooks except for classic literature.
