easybib.com is also a great citation creator. All in all, I prefer it over the aforementioned. Perhaps that's just me and my computer science nit-pick, wanting both function and design...

I agree with Kaycee. I used to use Citation Machine, because our teachers recommended it, but since I've discovered www.easybib.com, I haven't used Citation Machine once. Easybib has a far more friendly user interface, it saves all of the citation and allows you to open them in an easy-to-copy format or save them as a text file, as long as you don't navigate away from the page. And the best part of it: for just $10 a year, you can use their pro service, which allows you to save all your citations and group them into categories (great for working on multiple paper simultaneously), and it also has a feature called Insta-cite, which automatically cites books for you if you know the author, title, or the ISBN # of the book.

Also, I haven't tried amazon textbooks, but I have been using the service of www.bigwords.com since I've started college. It's an awesome website for not just cheap books, but also music, dvds, and games. What separates it from other sites, is that with Big Words, you add everything you need to your cart, then start the price comparison, and it will compare deals from all the major book selling websites (such as amazon, half.com, etc.), to give you the best combined prices, then provides you with simple instructions for ordering. When I first used it, I payed only half of what I should have paid for two new textbooks, and everyone I've recommended it to has no regrets using it. Just keep in mind that Big Words refers you to outside websites to buy the merchandise, so you're not buying anything from them directly.

I agree, in my researching for all kinds of Student Education Resources, these were always the main ones that are most popular. Had I found this site quicker, I could have saved myself a lot of time. Thanks Great Blog!

Great comments. I like www.isleptthroughclass.com for if and when I miss class! I can catch up on the lecture notes I miss and I like to post my lecture notes on there too! I get paid in Target or Victoria's Secret gift cards for the notes I post and it helps me to study by retyping my notes!

Everything on the site is completely free. Just wanted to let everyone know about it :)

The best job and internships site for college students I have seen in www.groupereye.com.

The current college recruiting system is terrible. This site gives you a chance to participate in cases posted by companies, and if you win you get an intern/ job consideration plus some extra cash. It is pretty incredible.

They ran a hugely successful pilot program last spring and will launch next fall in a big way. Register and check out the available cases.
