Textbooks and Amazon

I know that UMass has an agreement with Amazon for purchasing textbooks.

Does anyone know how we find out which books are needed for which class and when that info might be available? Also, is there a certain section within Amazon for UMass or do you just search the normal textbook portion of Amazon?

Thanks!

The textbooks are listed on spire with the class schedule. I log onto spire, press search class schedule, and then press textbook summary. However, not all classes are updated with this information. Also depending on the class, a lot of upperclassmen recommend waiting for the first day to get the syllabus to see which books you truly need. I believe there is a different section in Amazon for UMass because the links that I have found in spire all start with Umass.amazon

Thanks for the info!
