Background Reading

This catalog of papers is meant only to get you started on a research project and should not necessarily be considered complete.

All of the papers listed below are available through Case Western Reserve University's database. Most other universities provide similar access to scholarly journals. If you are having trouble accessing any of these papers but you are a CWRU student, then you must not be connected to the network (or connected as a Guest).
