I'm looking for a list of the shorthand names used for book reference and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Alright, how about a list based on the release dates of books so that you can keep things in order; or in my case know which book to read after Emergence.

Sorry 'bout that, took some time away from the boards.

Here ya go

The 'Published' date in the list is either the date on the login screen to Jackpoint/Shadowland or the date of the earliest post in the file (usually Cap'n Chaos' intro).

Just to add a couple that aren't on the list:

SRM refers to Shadowrun Missions, the ongoing Living Campaign that's available as PDF releases.  They're usually denoted by two numbers, the first is the Season, the second is the actual adventure number.  So SRM 04-01, which just released, is the "first" adventure in Season 4.  (THere's actually an 04-00 which sets up the season as well). 

CMP refers to Convention Mission Pack, which are Missions not tied to the regular season or the seasonal plotlines.  These are convention exclusive adventures that are run at gaming conventions throughout the year.  They're also denoted by two numbers, the first is the year the CMP was released, and the second the actual adventure number.  So CMP 2010-02 is the second adventure done for the 2010 convention season.

D'oh!

Thanks Bull! I should have noted that the books didn't include any Missions nor books without Shadowland/Jackpoint comments.

So, that PDF that 'Jack posted is no longer accessible :( Anyone feel like making a sticky list of books, their short hand, and date of release AND SR universe date point reference? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
