Grad books - anjan42 - 08-30-2019
Which books would you recommend on following grad courses? These courses look quite common so I am thinking many might have done it here.
- Introduction To Graduate Studies And Research
- Research Methods In Information Technology
- Organizational Impact Of Information Technology
- Innovations And Globalizations Using Information Technology

I don't understand your question Do you mean that those are subjects you are trying to study in preparation for graduate school, or are those the names of courses you are going to take in graduate school?
If you're going to take those courses, your instructor will tell you which books you need - and which edition.
Did I just fall into a spam trap? LOL

Its an online program so I doubt there is going to be much resources available through the university. I was wondering if someone has done similar courses at university and then I will collect all the books in advance and filter what I need later on.
Was thinking of getting Safari ebooks subscriptions but will see if I can manage it through other sources.

The professor will tell you the specific book for the class, even online courses do this. It wouldn't make sense to get a random book that's not specific to the course.

Exactly, unless it's not for college credit, your college will very much assign real reading out of real textbooks that you'll need exact titles of. It's not typical for the college to PROVIDE the books, rather they'll tell you which books you need to buy on your own.
I'd hold off and wait until the book list is posted.
