INSPEC (1898-present)
INSPEC is the world's largest bibliographic database for the fields of physics, electrical engineering and electronics, computers and control engineering, and information technology. It also provides significant coverage of applied mathematics, including mathematical physics, engineering mathematics, computational mathematics, and mathematics computing.

Jahrbuch Project (1868-1942)
This project aims to provide a digital archive of the most important mathematical publications between 1868 and 1942 and a database based on Jahrbuch uber die Fortschritte der Mathematik.

Zentralblatt Math (1868-present)
The MATH Database contains about 2.3 million entries drawn from about 3500 journals and 1100 serials. It is produced by the Berlin editorial office of FIZ Karlsruhe (in cooperation with European Academies and Mathematical Institutes).

C. Journal Collections (with full text and search and browse capabilities)

JSTOR
JSTOR contains an archive of scholarly journal literature in many disciplines. Its coverage excludes the last 2-5 years of current publications.

Kluwer Journals Online
Kluwer Journals Online is the gateway to journals published under the various Kluwer imprints.

SpringerLink Online
SpringerLink is an information service that provides access to Springer journals and book series.

ScienceDirect
ScienceDirect serves as a gateway to selected journals published by Elsevier and its partners.

AMS Digital Mathematics Registry
The AMS-DMR provides public access to collections of digitized materials from various mathematical journals and book series.

D. Preprint Sources

AMS Directory of Mathematics Preprint and e-Print Servers
This directory presents numerous preprint and e-print servers arranged by topic, host organization, or location.

ArXiv.org e-Print archive (Cornell University)
ArXiv.org provides access to scholarly articles in physics, mathematics, non-linear science, and computer science.

E. E-Books

AMS Books Online
This source contains a small collection of books published by the American Mathematical Society, access to individual titles on other websites, and links to larger collections of scholarly mathematics books online.

The Multi-Repository Mathematics Collections
These virtual collections contain over 2,000 volumes of significant historical mathematical material presented through the collaboration of the University of Michigan Library, Cornell University Library, and the State and University Library Gottingen. A single interface allows the user to search across all three collections, but it should be noted that searches of the Gottingen collection are primarily bibliographic while the other collections provide full-text searching.

The Online Books Page (University of Pennsylvania)
This source provides links to over 400 free online books in mathematics and computer science. The site also offers searching and browsing by title and author.

F. Reference Sources

MATHnetBASE
MATHnetBASE provides full text access to many mathematics reference sources published by CRC Press.

STATS netBASE
STATSnetBASE provides full text access to statistics reference sources published by CRC Press. Its content includes statistics in business, law, medicine, and many other scientific disciplines.

II. PRINT RESOURCES (located in Brauer Math/Physics Library)

A. Indexes and Abstracts

Catalogue of Scientific Papers, 1800-1900; Subject Index    MP Z7403.R881 v. 1
This volume provides subject access to nineteenth century scholarly work in pure mathematics. No author index is available.

Jahrbuch uber die Fortschritte der Mathematik (1868-1942)
This source provides an author index, bibliographic information, and abstracts for important mathematical publications between 1868 and 1942. Most entries are in German. Many of the volumes have been automated and are accessible online through the Jahrbuch Project .

Zentralblatt fur Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete (1931-present)
Although this source overlaps with MathSciNet, it provides better coverage of European conferences and materials. Each issue has author and subject indexes, and every 25th issue contains a cumulative index to the previous year.

B. Reference Sources

In addition to the titles listed below, Brauer Library owns a number of recent mathematics handbooks published by CRC Press. These sources have not been listed below because they are available electronically through MATHnetBASE .
