Covering over 40 industries and dozens of applications, this is
the first bibliography on the history of computer applications.
After an introductory essay on the history of applications, the
volume is divided into two time periods and includes over 1,600
entries, arranged by application and industry. Users will find
sections on such fields as higher education, manufacturing, law
enforcement, accounting, space travel, ATMs, artificial
intelligence, banking, and trucking. Entries are annotated to
describe their content and, when appropriate, their historical
significance.
Compiled by a historian for other historians and economists, the
bibliography draws on the entire spectrum of contemporary and
historical literature: books, user's guides, trade journals,
industry publications, technology and scholarly magazines and
journals, and newsletters, including both American and European
sources. As the author of several books on information processing
and a member of the IBM Corporation, Cortada is in a good position
to pick the historically significant literature for inclusion in
this bibliography.
