Subsequently you have to buy a bunch of text books that are anthologies filled with old poets or snippets of old novels.  Some courses even make you buy old books such as <em>The Iliad<\/em> or <em>Othello<\/em>.  So what to do when you must buy a whole bunch of old books that you may never read after the class is done?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Know <a title=\"wikipedia entry\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Public_Domain\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">public domain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Public domain is a law that states intellectual property is fair game as long as 70 years has passed since the author\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death.  There are certain variations to this, but the main idea is, <strong>old literature can be found for free<\/strong>.  Next time you have huge booklist for a course Google the title of the book plus \u00e2\u20ac\u0153full text\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Also if you are one of those people that can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t read long pages of text on a computer screen, take advantage of your university\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s computer labs.  Each college is different but I bet if you dig enough you can find an unsupervised lab where you can print 50+ pages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let your professor screw you, put that tuition money to good use and find a computer lab.  That sound of 60+ pages of <em>The Iliad<\/em> being printed out will sound a lot like money in your pocket.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">[tags]public domain, college professor, free books[\/tags]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are classes in every University that study old literature.
