Reading List
This reading list is not intended to be exhaustive. I have divided it into broad categories, but you will find that books especially tend to be relevant to many of them. It will change over the course as lecturers add titles to it. If you want to search for further reading, and excellent bibliography to use is Bailey, C.. (1996-99) Scholarly Electronic Publishing Bibliography. Houston: University of Houston Libraries, http://info.lib.uh.edu/sepb/sepb.html.
