SigArch Library

We aim to have a comprehensive library of books about computer architecture and electronics design. Below is a list of the references currently in our library in the lab. Members are encouraged to borrow books as needed for their own projects. Some of the data books are fairly old to facilitate the use of now-obsolete components donated to SigArch long ago. Also note that SigArch has hundreds of component data sheets in hardcopy and electronic form not listed here.
