Computer Science is a unique field. Professionals and students don't do research using the traditional means - concerning both sources and formats. Rather, they rely on quick, accessible, topic-specific books or manuals to aid in their work immediately.
To address this singular need, the Zondervan Library has purchased access to a collection of online technology books from premier authors and publishers.
This online database provides information that IT, programming, and design professionals can quickly and easily search for reliable, definitive answers to mission-critical questions.
Should you be interested in finding other resources, print or electronic, you can try the following tools available from the Library's web page.
