Information on System Dynamics
Jay W. Forrester
Information revised
February 4, 2005
System Dynamics Bibliography:
To order the system dynamics bibliography of over 4100 entries, specify IBM type PC, or Macintosh

Three formats are available:
1. For Endnote, a very effective bibliography
software available for either Macintosh or PC
from:
ISI ResearchSoft
www.endnote.com
Tel: 760-438-5526
I use Endnote and recommend it and use it to search for the references.
2. An exported version with field delimiters that
presumably can be loaded into some other kind of
database.
3. A listing that one can look at in a word
processor and do some simple finding operations.

MIT history of system dynamics development:
>From the System Dynamics Society can be obtained
a DVD disk containing several thousand memos
written during the first several decades of
developing the field of system dynamics. The
disk also contains more than 200 theses that were
written in that same time period.
