Monographs and Books
Increasingly, new books in mathematics are acquired by the Library in electronic format in addition to, or instead of, print. This includes nearly all books published by Springer-Verlag and its Birkhauser subsidiaries. Many older books have been digitized and made available online. Links to digital versions of books can be found in the Library Catalog and also the Mathematics Library E-Books page.
Use the Library’s Easy Search feature to look for books in multiple online platforms at once. Just click on the “Books” tab.
Journals
Many current and recent Math Library journal subscriptions are available only in electronic format, or in electronic format in addition to print. Many additional journals of interest to mathematicians are available online without a subscription.
Search the Catalog for a mathematics related e-journals.
Abstracting and indexing services are another source to use in searching for scholarly journal articles. The two most relevant electronic indexes for mathematicians (which developed from long-standing print resources) are:
MathSciNet – American Mathematical Society (AMS) Mathematical Reviews
Zentralblatt MATH – originally Zentralblatt fur Mathematik und ihre Grenzgebiete
Online collections of particular use to mathematicians include:
If you have an article citation in hand, try using the Library’s Journal and Article Locator to discover whether U of I has access to the article. Enter the journal name, and any additional information to begin the search.
If U of I does not own the article you are looking for, request a PDF copy through ILLiad, the interlibrary loan system. You will need your NetID and password to access your account.
If you need any assistance locating a monograph or journal article, or if you would like further information on the Library’s online resources, please contact the Mathematics Library.
