CIRG LIBRARY

CIRG is maintaining a library of internally owned CI-related books. At the moment, all books are located in the offices of the various research group staff members, and lending will take place on an ad-hoc basis.

We have cataloged all the books and conference proceedings currently in our possession. A virtual library is available on LibraryThing. [ Show ]

Some abstract tags have been added to the books in order to make searching a bit easier. Conference proceedings on CD or DVD have the tag "CD". Books and CDs are tagged with the owner's surname.
