MIT Press CISnet brings together many of the MIT Press’s recent and classic titles in computer and information science in a fully searchable online library located at http://cisnet.mit.edu.
Subscribers have access to a growing collection of MIT Press books on topics including programming, artificial intelligence, machine learning, human computer interaction, databases, digital libraries, networking, and robotics. Recently added titles include HCI Remixed (edited by Thomas Erickson and David W. McDonald), Using OpenMP (Barbara Chapman, Gabriele Jost, and Ruud van der Pas), Virtual Music (David Cope), and Group Cognition (Gerry Stahl).
