<p>I heard that chem 2 series will require new books. Some of my friends were joking during the Spring that they should sell their books to naive freshman ;)</p>
<p>The reality is -you'll have to buy new books for quite a few classes, since they come bundled with software that sometimes basically costs as much as a new book when bought separately, or some books are specially made for UCD, like the accounting "UCDavis Edition" textbook that comes with required software that can only be activated once. You should look for the ASUCD Book Exchange.</p>

<p>You can buy books that other ppl sell which is sometimes a little less than the main booksture. After the quarter, you can set your own prices and then have them laid out in the exchange and hope someone will buy it. They only take like 5% of profits, which really isn't that much since you'll be able to sell it for a lot more there. And if you sell online, you can check online to see if your books have been sold -very convenient!</p>
<p>ilikeoranges,</p>
<p>that siscast website is not working for me. When I put in a CRN and submit, it asks me to download a file, but then it doesn't even go on to the next page. Do you know what might be wrong? </p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Thank you Ilikeoranges. I was looking for that siscast.</p>
<p>Hmm, B.G. I don't know what could be wrong. I just checked and it appears that it does not have information right now...</p>
<p>"Signup for Textbook Notification Email
You're Early! Siscast.com does not have textbook information this far in advance of the quarter. However, you can sign up to recieve an email when the information becomes available."</p>
<p>Is it your browser? There is nothing on there right now, but you should check back within the month to see if the info gets posted, hopefully it will work for you between that time.</p>
<p>The people working the stacks at the bookstore said that they won't be stocking for fall quarter until about 2 weeks before school.</p>
<p>thanks ilikeoranges, it was a problem with my browser. I requested for the list to be e-mailed to me when it does come. </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>damn school starts in 2 weeks and I still ain't heard from them. is there some other place to find out what textbooks I need?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
