I'm having trouble finding online what textbooks are required for my classes next semester. I'm looking at buying some before I return, so it won't be at any of the bookstores in Rolla who would know what I need. So, does anyone know where I should try looking online to see what books are required?
thanks.

and use their Online Ordering program. You don't have to place orders, but it will let you search by course and even by section when it matters, and it'll give you the details on the books, as well as the bookstore's prices.
Then take your ISBNs to half.com or PriceMonk, and search away.

Apparently you haven't been to PriceMonk. It uses UMRs (or MUs, UMKCs, or Trumans) course catalog for required books. You choose your major, and then you have a list of all classes offered for that major, along wth all teachers teaching which sections. You then have an option to list all of the required books for the class, and then another option to compare prices of the books (including the new and used price of the UMR Bookstore -- it made it very handy to know right off the bat that I was saving $300 buying my books online rather than from the Bookstore) -- it goes through the UMR Bookstore, Amazon, Half.com, eBay, Totalcampus, eCampus.com, etc.

Alright, thanks guys. And kudos swirls on a wonderfully nostalgic avatar. I sometimes got past one of those sneaky bastards, but his buddy would always finish the job.
Yeah, I "borrowed" it from some guy off of deviantART.com. I find it entertaining.
And, sadly, I found out today that I had to buy one of my books at the Bookstore. For anyone else taking NE 223, one of the two books is not available used online (at least not from PriceMonk). Since Nuclear Systems I: Thermal Hydraulic Fundamentals was published in 1989, it's *too old* of a book for Amazon to carry it. And of course it's not available used at the UMR Bookstore either, so I get to pay $90 for it. Yay.
Oh, I forgot on my other post - you can also check http://www.addall.com. It actually searches through more sites than PriceMonk; however, in order to use it, you need to know either the book title, ISBN, author, or something else you can use to identify it from a search.

The nostalgia gets me right here. Ski Free used to be my favorite game. Nothing like mindless entertainment.
