                      CFA MASTER BOOK LIST

Dian Gustafson, CFA Librarian, has put together a Master Book List
for the CFA online.  This site is separate from the CFA site and 
the purpose of this project is to produce a book list that can be 
used as a tool (i.e., an accumulation of Chapman information) in 
order to learn what has already been published. Some of these books
are available to members on loan.  

Stop on by and take a look to see what's available!
