Books books!

<p>i'm still so lost about books! how do people know which books to buy for what class already!? =(</p>

<p>they don’t, just wait until classes begin. The professors will let the students know, just relax for now.</p>

<p>This question keeps popping up…</p>

<p>Some people never read.</p>

<p>Well it would take maybe 10 + pages of the forum before anyone could really find the info…</p>

<p>I wish we could make stickies on this forum, but there don’t seem to be really any moderators</p>

<p>There’s a search bar. Guess they didn’t know about that either.
Google would work too.</p>

<p>yes it would’ve took at least like 10 pages to look. and yes i will admit that i was lazy to look. but that is what this forum is also for. asking questions. so excuse me that i had a question to ask and i wanted answers quick. and if you aren’t going to help then don’t even bother saying anything. alright? thanks eminentfigure</p>

<p>I can’t see a search bar on the forums.</p>

<p>Google and other search engines would not be very useful.</p>

<p>Typing and searching for “How do we know what books to get for UCR” would get some pretty unhelpful results, such as this one- </p>

<p>[How</a> do we know what books to get for UCR - Bing](<a href=“How do we know what books to get for UCR - Search”>How do we know what books to get for UCR - Search)</p>

<p>thank you whiteclock! =)</p>

<p>lol the search button is on the bar

<p>Plus when you are searching, you wouldnt type the whole sentence.</p>

<p>I searched “buy book” in UCR forum and many posts that contained the answer popped up.</p>

<p>Its not like we don’t want you asking questions but this question have popped up many times and there is the search function for a reason.</p>

<p>I am helping you isunny. I’m teaching you to not be lazy and actually look up stuff already posted on the forums. You’re just posting stuff to waste space even though space is unlimited. You can’t stick up for yourself so you thank whiteclock? lol</p>

<p>I think a search bar is universal on any forum; that’s why I was so confident with my answer even though I never double checked.</p>

<p>again. i understand that this question has popped up a lot of times. and as you can see i barely joined this site. and i figured that it would be easier to just ask a question and quickly get an answer. and i didn’t know there was a search function because i barely joined this site. and again. i don’t want to sound mean. but if you really aren’t going to answer the question that is posted then don’t say anything at all. thanks.</p>

<p>Actually both me and EminentFigure was trying to answer your question. By simply using the search function you would have found many detailed answer to your question. </p>

<p>We weren’t trying to be rude and I’m glad that you are joining the community. However sometimes the best answer can be to notify you of using the search function and simply typing in couple keywords such as “buy book”</p>

<p>Sorry if you took offense.</p>

<p>You did join a “forum” and not youtube, correct?
A forum usually consists of a search bar or how would people even find anything dated one year back. I’m just telling you this because I know someone in the future might do the same so I’m saving you from that happening.
And the question has been answered already.</p>

<p>Sorry if you took offense as well.</p>

<p>isunny:
Well, now you know about the search function.</p>

<p>But since no one seems to have answered your question:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-riverside/765065-there-website-i-can-search-textbooks-i-will-need-my-classes.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-riverside/765065-there-website-i-can-search-textbooks-i-will-need-my-classes.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>My personal quick thoughts:

  1. Wait until the first day of classes to see what the professor says to get.
  2. You may hate the class and drop it, so what’s the point of getting books this early?</p>

<p>thank you tehlunatic. i understood that you were trying to help. but if you were to read the previous posts by eminent then you would think otherwise. and thank you for telling me about the search bar and how to get there. </p>

<p>and for eminent. first of all. i think fighting over this is absolutely childish. and you need a bit of an attitude adjustment. and posting stuff to waste space? excuse me. but i’m posting stuff to get ANSWERS. and obviously you weren’t nice enough to provide me with any but instead your dumb attitude that you need to adjust. and the search bar isn’t visible. there are steps to get to it and obviously i did not know about it. so again. if you aren’t going to help with anyone’s questions then don’t bother saying anything at all or with your stuck up remarks.</p>

<p>thank you shesasensation</p>

<p>Yeah, fighting over this makes me childish, but you went along with it, am I right?
If my previous statements are dumb, why are you responding to ALL of my posts?
Yeah, the search bar isn’t visible, but you do have eyes, don’t you?</p>

<p>All in all, I know. The truth hurts.</p>

<p>Alright… Since the answer have been solved, just end this.</p>

<p>I think a rendition of the song “Why Can’t We be Friends?” by War is in order right now.</p>
