Summon is a great discovery tool for those who have not yet narrowed down their topic or key words. It will show the user all materials that are available to them through RIT.
Here are the call number designations for some common programming languages. The links will take you to the library catalog, where you can browse a list of print and electronic books.
In addition to searching Summon and the library catalog, you can directly search our e-book databases. Check out the databases below for even more programming e-books.
Programming books can be found grouped on the library shelves by programming language. The Library of Congress (LC) Classification call number for computer programming is QA76.73 - for books on specific languages, notice the next set of letters and numbers. Generally speaking, the next letter after QA76.73 corresponds to the first letter of the name of the programming language. So you can browse the shelves for the language you're interested in by following the call number sequence in alphabetical order.
