Computer Science - Graduate Students: Find Books

Why use books?

While you are mostly likely going to be using peer-reviewed scholarly articles for your computer science research papers, you may find that books hold the supplemental information that fills a gap. Books could have historical information, a broad overview of a topic, a general introduction to a topic, definitions, and more.
