It is the student's own responsibility where the required books are ordered. You can find which books are recommended for a course in the study guide 2023/2024. If in doubt, students can also contact the course coordinator.
Many of the recommended books are also available for perusal (not for loan) in the Study Collection in Library in Forum.
