INTRODUCTIONThis bibliography is not meant to be an exhaustive list - but rather a guide to the areas in Reference Collection where information about the computer science is located. It also, indirectly, will give you an idea where materials about computer science can be found in the various circulating collections in the Library. Some electronic books are also included in this list.
If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to stop by my office in Library 278, call me at 726-8586 or e-mail me. Pam Enrici - Engineering Librarian.
