+Designing Data-Intensive Applications
+=====================================
+
+Literature References
+---------------------
+
+This repository accompanies the book [Designing Data-Intensive Applications](http://dataintensive.net/)
+by [Martin Kleppmann](https://www.google.co.uk/maps), published by
+[O'Reilly Media](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032175.do).
+
+The book contains a large number of references to further reading material for anyone who wants to
+go into more depth, ranging from books and research papers to blog posts, bug reports and tweets.
+Many of the references are freely available online.
+
+The purpose of this repository is to maintain up-to-date links to the full text of online resources,
+where available. If you are reading the print edition, you may find it quicker than using a search
+engine to find the material. If you are reading an ebook edition, we have included links directly in
+the ebook, but unfortunately links tend to break frequently due to the nature of the web.
+
+If you find a broken link or any error in the references, please submit a pull request to fix it.
+For academic papers, you can search for the title in [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.co.uk/)
+to find open-access PDF files.
