Guide to Wood Design Information

The Guide to Wood Design Information is a bibliography

of wood design information available from the associations

of the Wood Products Council and other cooperating organi-

zations. The purpose of the guide is to facilitate the search

and selection of pertinent wood design literature and to

serve as a reference source for wood design information.

The materials listed offer information on structural

design, structural wood products, framing systems, special

applications, specifications, concepts, and other design

considerations. These materials are organized according to

the phases and procedures of common building design

practices. Also listed are audio-visual materials, computer

software, and sources of supply.

To obtain specific cost and ordering information, please

contact the appropriate organization listed in the front

section of the guide. Single copies of some publications

listed are free of charge to qualified individuals. Quantity

prices of publications and audio-visual loan and/or pur-

chase fees may be obtained from the listed sources.
