Reading List

["William H. Cutler" <72734.3452@]

Miss Melek Pisman, angel@bim.sau.edu.tr, recently requested an up-to-date
reading list on SD. I would hope any responses would be broadcast to the list,
since others of us who are also neophytes could benefit.

Regards, Bill Cutler

Here is some resource information sent by Jay Forrester (jforestr@MIT.EDU)


You can get a system dynamics bibliography that has over 3000 entries:

Order System dynamics bibliography,
specify IBM type PC, or Macintosh

Send $35 in US$ drawn on a US bank to:

System Dynamics Society
49 Bedford Road
Lincoln, MA 01773
USA

Tel: 1-617-259-8259
Fax: 1-617-259-0969
email: SDSociety@aol.com

Three formats are available:

1. For Endnote, a very effective bibliography software available for either Macintosh or PC from:

Niles & Associates, Inc
800 Jones St.
Berkeley, CA 94710 USA

Tel: 510-559-8592
Fax: 510-559-8683
Internet: nilesinc@well.sf.ca.us

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 simple listing that one can look at in a word processor and do some simple finding
operations.

The bibliography can also be downloaded from:
