62<ul>
63<li> Perl users can find more information about SWIG in the O'Reilly book 
64<a href="http://www.ora.com/catalog/advperl">"Advanced Perl Programming"</a>. <br>

66<li><p> Daniel Blezek wrote an article about SWIG in the November, 1998 issue
67of the <a href="http://www.cuj.com/archive/1611/index.html">C/C++ Users Journal</a>.
68
69<li><p>An article about SWIG appeared in the February, 1998 issue 
70of <a href="http://www.ddj.com/ddj/1998/1998_02/index.htm">Dr. Dobb's Journal</a> on
71Scripting and Alternative Languages. <br>
72
73<li><p>Scott Bolte wrote an article about SWIG in the Winter, 1997 issue of 
74<a href="http://www.tpj.com">The Perl Journal</a>. <br>
75
76
77<li><p> John Ousterhout's <a href="http://home.pacbell.net/ouster/scripting.html">
78paper </a> on scripting languages provides a good  overview
79of the use of scripting languages and their relationship to
80systems programming languages.  SWIG was developed with many of these issues
81in mind so this paper might be of interest to users who are new to
82SWIG and its goals. <br>

84<li><p> <b><a href="http://www.supercomp.org/sc96/proceedings/SC96PROC/BEAZLEY/INDEX.HTM"> Lightweight Computational Steering of Very Large Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations </a></b>.
85Presented at Supercomputing'96.  This paper describes the application that 
86motivated the development of SWIG. (See why SWIG was originally developed). <br>
