Further Reading in Location Intelligence and Business GIS

Below are a few recommendations for books and articles worthy of further reading in location intelligence and related study fields. The references listed here include some established classics in the field along with some more recent research contributions. This is intended to be a dynamic page, so feel free to check back here periodically for updated listings.

A couple of notes on these readings links:
Most links related to articles published in academic journals
 direct you to a journal website. In these cases, if you are accessing this course website from a UNT computer, you will be able to download, read and save a PDF version of the reading.
 ​
​
​Most links related to books direct you to an Amazon.com link that provides full information on the book. I am not suggesting that you need to buy these books, or that Amazon is the best place to purchase if you do wish to buy the book. However, these book links provide a helpful summary of full bibliographic information (and in some cases, reviews and partial content) for each volume. You might find these volumes in our UNT library or other local sources.
