Prof told me I'd want to keep my books to reference them. I did. I think it was a mistake. A few times I have thought to look stuff up, and either give up before I get the book, or give up after 10 seconds of looking through the book, and just search the internet instead. Maybe for Chem it's not as effective, but for math and electrical type stuff finding useful information quickly tends to be pretty easy.
So, now I reget not selling books back when they were worth something, and have a bunch of weights of little use that I take with me every time I move.
my professors never told me to keep them but i figure they would be useful... which they have. I have gone back to my chem books a few times.. mostly to look up equations and to look up old stuff i don't remember or definitions. Though i do also use the internet to look stuff up for chem too.. but it always looks a bit more confusing for some reason. My chem 1&2 book was a higher edition of the chem ap book my high school used... so that could be why its easier to understand. Some of my other books were used/referenced for a few different and higher classes. My instrumental analysis (interpreting what the compound could be by reading a graph) teacher told us to keep going back to our organic chem book... with good reason since they had graphs dealing with all the basic compounds (ie - alcohol, carboxylic acids, etc). There was a instrumental analysis book that i bought which has examples of how the graphs of basic and more complex compounds look.It has alot of tables of which tell where certain compounds usually sit on the graph.
