A note on the course Resource List:

The resource list is linked below and indicates the essential, recommended, and further readings we have selected for each week.  In Week 1 of the list, you will see a link to the ebook, Information: A Historical Companion', which we hope will be of use to you for reference throughout the course.  This text is somewhere between a large reference work with definitions of key terms, and a book of short essays on key information-related topics.  We want to emphasise that, although this is indicated as a key reference text for this course, *you are not expected to buy this book*.  It is not the kind of work that we want you to read from start to finish, and you have full online access to the whole book via the University library.  You may find that we recommend particular entries from this text in each block, but you should also be aware of it as a background reference work that you may find generally useful when you come across a new term or topic.
