Each volume's text supports the particular tutorial course chaired by an expert in the field and presented by seasoned instructors.

The computer disk (v. 13) and the videocassette (v. 22) have the same title as their respective courses.

Six accompanying textbooks supplied by the publisher are cataloged separately, under their individual author and title.

Some v. have running title: ACM/SIGGRAPH-90. Tutorial.
