MathSciNet is a key mathematical resource produced by
the AMS, indexing some 2½ million items: books, papers from books, conferences, and journals, etc. Some 100,000 are added each year, of which 40% are reviewed. It also includes links to subsequent citations for some items. |

Zentralblatt
MATH database is also a key mathematical resource
that indexes and reviews books, papers in journals & conferences, etc. The coverage is now from 1868 to the present; with 3.0 million items indexed. Zentralblatt classifies all its items under the MSC 2000 codes. |

MathEduc, ormerly known as MATHDI, edited by Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Mathematik (GDM), MathEduc is an international reference database covering the literature on research, theory and practice in mathematics education.
Access to the Full-Text e-versions: (1) Click the "WorldCat" button.
(2) If that does not work, check individual book or journal titles in the Library's catalogue ... or contact your Subject Librarian for assistance. Unfortunately there are many full-text items for which the "WorldCat" button does not work. |

FULL-TEXT resources |
| Campus |

SpringerLink: full-text online access to over 20,000 books and 2000 journals ... primarily published by Springer-Verlag (a major publisher in Maths & Stats), but also including titles from Birkhauser, Karger, & others — full-text searchable! Most of the books are also listed in the Library Catalogue.
The Library does not have the complete SpringerLink content. Access is shown by a box beside each reference with three following options: If the box is filled with green, then there is access to it all; if it is half-filled then there is access to some; and if it is white there is no access. |

ScienceDirect a publisher's full-text delivery system to over 2000 Elsevier journals, mostly in the
sciences; also some full-text books. ScienceDirect classifies over 100 journals as
mathematical. Has an Alert service. — full-text searchable! |
