A. First, a few good books...

There are many excellent books on software engineering topics available through the University of Maryland's library system. Several of those listed below are part of SSU's Blackwell Library collection. If our library doesn't have the book, if it is available elsewhere in the Univ of Md system, it may be ordered on-line using Victor. Consult Blackwell Library staff for details and handouts on how to use Victor to check out books. Some of these will be made available in the Power seminar room or from MLMalone directly.

They are listed here in no particular order.
