One the leading Societies in MCM-L MCM-D and MCM-C is the
International society for Hybrid Microelectronics.  They have published
several books and have a bi-monthly journal.  I would recommend becoming a
member.  Their phone number is 800-232-4746.  I have been a member for 2
years and just got back from their 25th aniversary technical symposium in
CA.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A very good introductory book covering many of the practical problems of
designing high speed digital microelectronic systems:

------------

An overview of MCM technology:

@article{Johnson90,
        author = "R.R. Johnson",
        title = "Multichip modules: next generation packages",
        journal = {IEEE Spectrum},
        month = mar,
        year =1990,
        pages = "34--36, 46--48",
        volume = 27,
        number = 3}
                    
--------------

An overview on how to match system requirements to MCM technology:

@inproceedings{Schaper90,
        author = "L. Schaper",
        title = "Meeting system requirements through technology
                tradeoffs in multichip modules",
        booktitle = "Proc. Int. Electronic Packaging Conference",
        year = 1990,
        pages = "25--33"}

--------------

Sources that go into more detail about high speed interconnect design.
These books are particularly aimed at ECL PCB design:

        title = "Eletrical Design of a High Speed Computer Package",
        journal = "IBM J. Res. Dev.",
        volume = 26,
        number = 3,
        month = may,
        year = 1982,
        pages = "349--361"}
        
@incollection{Davidson89,
        author = "E.E. Davidson and G.A. Katopis",

@inbook{Chang89,
        author = "C.S. Chang",
        title = "Electrical design methodologies",
        booktitle = "Electronic Materials Handbook",
        publisher = {ASM},
        year = 1989,
        pages = "25--44"}
                           
@inbook{Morrison89,
        author = "B.D. Morrison and J.J. Rosenberg and S.F. Mango",
        title = "Design Considerations for High-Frequency Digital
        Systems",
        booktitle = "Electronic Materials Handbook",
        publisher = {ASM},
        year = 1989,
        pages = "76--87"}

-------------

A discussion of the electronic design of digital circuits:


@inbook{Balph89,
        author = "T. Balph and W. Blood",
        title = "Active digital components",
        booktitle = "Electronic Materials Handbook",
        publisher = {ASM},
        year = 1989,
        pages = "160--177"}
                             
-------------

And finally a high level researcher-orientated overview of packaging 
hierarchies:

@article{FundaInter,
        author = "M. Hatamian  and L.A. Hornak and T.E. Little and S.K.
                Tewksbury and P. Franzon",
        title = "Fundamental interconnection issues",
        journal = "AT\&T Technical Journal",
        number = 4,
        volume = 66,
         pages = "13--30",
        month = "July/August",
        year = 1987}
                          
(also in  booktitle = "Electronic Materials Handbook",
        publisher = {ASM},
        year = 1989,
