Course Texts

In the interest of keeping your costs down, I have planned the course so that you purchase only two course text books. These two books are available at Antigone Books, 411 North 4th Avenue, 792-3715. Rather than creating a course pack, all other readings are available through electronic reserves. Some of these texts also are available online--in those cases, I provide you the URL to those resources. Finally, if the electronic reserve proves unuseful or less readable, I also will make available the original copies of those readings on electronic reserve. Thus, you may copy those readings from the originals whenever you prefer.

Course textbook citations and other abbreviations include:

Course Bibliography

This course bibliography is organized by reading order in our course. As with any course bibliography, there are many more texts that could enrich our perspectives on computers and compositoin theory. I encourage and you to visit the library frequently to locate other resources and add to your understanding of computers and composition as a subfield.

7-Day Reserve Materials

Since many of the course readings are selections from longer works, I have tried to make those books available through 7-day library reserve. In cases where this is not possible, please talk with me about borrowing my copy of the work. In other cases, I have added resources to the reserve such as videos about the history of computing in the U.S.

If you have a request for a certain text, please be certain to submit that to the library in a timely fashion, or ask your colleagues to see if they have a copy you can borrow. And, if you come across a text, video, or other resource you want to add to our course reserve, just let me know. I will do my best to accommodate you.
