Textbooks—a thing of the past!

It is often heard that nowadays education, particularly at the university level, is limited to lecture synopsis; students hardly use reference or textbooks. This practice may limit the students’ learning to some fixed topics and chapters.
Online resources are ample and they are continuously updated with the changing course of subjects. University teachers should maintain their own webpages to keep students abreast of courses. At the same time, students should devote their time to prepare their own notes by collecting information from different books and online archives.
