There's very little procurement research out there so I read a lot of conference proceedings and anyway this one is super fun because it reinforces that, at least in the US regulatory environment, universities can't confirm anything vendors promise about data privacy. Neat!

Here are some recent books on effective learning written for students. Though most are written by psychologists, all are appropriate for students majoring in any topics. I can't pick one, b/c each has its own strengths and weaknesses. I hope you (& other people) find this list useful. #edusky
Book covers for the following books on effective learning, written for students (in no particular order):

1) Ace That Test: A Student's Guide to Learning Better (Sumeracki, Nebel, Kuepper-Tetzel, & Kaminske)

2) A Guide to Effective Studying and Learning: Practical Strategies from the Science of Learning (Rhodes, Cleary, & DeLoche)

3) Learn Like a Pro: Science-Based Tools to Become Better at Anything (Oakley & Schewe)

4) Outsmart Your Brain: Why Learning Is Hard and How You Can Make It Easy (Willilngham)

5) Study Like a Champ: The Psychology-Based Guide to "Grade A" Study Habits (Gurung & Dunlosky)
