I usually end up keeping my upper division textbooks with the anticipation that I'll be able to use them as resources later on. Also, thanks for the plugin. I'm trying it out now and am liking it so far! @Wes G:

I too am an engineering student and I agree with all of those ideas. I am angry that every semester I need to purchase new textbooks, when we all know that they will be obsolete at the end of the term. This is my first time visiting your blog and reading some comments, and I noticed you've used the comment @ to reply to someone. Not to toot my own horn, but I wrote a Wordpress plugin that beautifies the reference with a link to the previous comment. Check it out! <a href="wesg.ca/2008/04/wordpress-plugin-comment-connection/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wesg.ca/2008/04/wordpress-plugin-comment-connection/</a> Hello Andrew!
