On the booklist there's some books that are 'strongly recommended' or 'recommended'.
Do we need to purchase these books or just the prescribed ones?

Thanks.

I only buy the prescribed ones. The rest I get from the library if I need.

Sometimes the prescribed ones don't really help.

Don't they have a limit on how many times you're allowed to renew?

4 times would be the maximum amount of times you can renew. Of course you could just borrow the same book with different barcode and start again from there :P

Depends on the book.
If no one wants it, renew as many times up to your heart's content :) :)
(if you borrow one of those 4 week loan books, renew 2 times and you have gotten yourself a textbook for one whole semester :) )

I think I'm going to like UoM library, up until of course I can't renew a book or worse, borrow one.
