Book sale
The ODIOM book sale has started!
As an ODIOM member, you can buy your books at a discount! Log in with your ODIOM account to access the book sale.
Want to order books? Keep this in mind:
- As an ODIOM member, you always receive a discount on books you order through our webshop.
- ODIOM organizes two book sales each year: the first before the start of the academic year and the second before the start of the second semester.
- Check the list to see if any books you already own are listed (sometimes this is already indicated, but you remain responsible for them).
PLEASE NOTE! You are responsible for the books you order. So ALWAYS check which books you select and whether you actually need them for the courses you are taking.
Frequently Asked Questions
I didn’t receive a confirmation email. Is it working?
You probably placed your order correctly. Please send us an email with your last name and the order date, and we will check if your order went through.
How do I know which books I need?
On ocasys, you can indicate exactly which year and program you’re in. For each course, it shows which books were recommended at the beginning of the year. If you have any further questions, you can always email us. You can also check the reading list provided by the instructors on Brightspace for the relevant course. This lists the reading materials the instructor will use during lectures.
The books in the study guide don’t match the ODIOM order list. What should I do?
This can happen. Some instructors change the reading materials during the year because certain books are no longer in print, are sold out, or for other reasons. If you have any questions, you can always email us.
Why do the ISBN numbers provided by ODIOM not match the ISBN numbers provided by the University of Groningen (RUG)?
The University of Groningen provides us with a list of books including their 10-digit ISBN. Unfortunately, we can no longer work here, so we’re converting the 10-digit ISBN to a 13-digit ISBN. Although these two differ, they belong to the same book.
Where can I pick up the books?
The books will be delivered to your home.
Is your question still unanswered?
Please contact us at penningmeester@odiom.nl. We’ll be happy to answer your question.
Frequently asked questions
I didn’t receive a confirmation mail. Is everything allright?
Yes, it likely is. Send an E-mail to us with your last name and the date you ordered your books. We will check if the order came through.
How do I know what books I need?
You can look them up in the study guides. Click on your year and your specialization. It is indicated what books you need for each subject. You can always mail if you have any further questions.
The books in the study guide do not match the ODIOM book lists. What do I do now?
This can happen. Teachers sometimes change the literature during the year, because some books are no longer printed, are sold out or because of different reasons. You can always mail if there are any uncertainties.
Why is the ISBN number given by ODIOM not the same as the ISBN number given by the RUG?
The RUG provides us with a list of books, including the 10-digit ISBN. Unfortunately we can’t work with that, therefore we convert the 10-digit ISBN into a 13-digit ISBN. These are different, but correspond with the same book.
I can’t pick up my books at the given time. What do I do know?
You have to pick up the books during the book sale. Send an email if you can’t pick them up.
Do you have any further questions? Please contact us (book committee) via boeken@odiom.nl. We will happily answer your questions.
