+### Scope
+ If a book would be catalogued in an Library of Congress category other than [Science](http://www.loc.gov/aba/cataloging/classification/lcco/lcco_q.pdf), [Medicine](http://www.loc.gov/aba/cataloging/classification/lcco/lcco_r.pdf), or [Technology](http://www.loc.gov/aba/cataloging/classification/lcco/lcco_t.pdf), for example, ["MUSIC AND BOOKS ON MUSIC"](http://www.loc.gov/aba/cataloging/classification/lcco/lcco_m.pdf) then it's out of scope for this list.
+ If a non-book resource is proposed, for example "screencasts", "interactive tutorials", etc., following the example of [free-programming-books](https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books/), we encourage these resources to be included in a separate page dedicate to that sort of resource.
+ If a book or resource is a "free-programming" book or resource, it should [go there](https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books/). Math books might go both places, but not computer science.

 ### Formatting
 + All lists are `.md` files. Try to learn Github's Markdown syntax. It's simple!
