<p>Truth be told, I almost never buy books, either from the bookstore or online. After my first semester, I discovered something that allows me to buy only one or two of the 20+ books I need each semester: Ohiolink. That service, through the library, allows you to request books from a host of other college libraries around the state, and keep them nearly the whole semester. Between Oberlin’s own collection, and that, there’s not much use for bargain hunting–which can be frustrating, and elusive, for a lot of those texts.</p>
