This Web page started with the file *MTSBibliography from August 1984, links to online sources were added, and additions made. The additions are marked with a dagger ( †).
Not included here are the various manuals, memos, newsletters, and workshop proceedings published by the MTS Consortium sites. Information about some of these items can be found in the " Documents" section and a list of articles that contain references to MTS is available in the "Discussions" section of the Michigan Terminal System Archive Web site (this site).
