  3. Journals cont’d… • Digitized an additional volume each year, so collections on JSTOR are now through 1995.

  4. Journals cont’d… • Text: • Scanned at 600 dpi for viewing and printing • OCR file for searching • Bibliographic information and abstract (if available): • Keyboarded and available in PDF

  5. Journals cont’d… • MSN Reviews link to full text articles in JSTOR

  6. Journals cont’d… • Subscription model (through JSTOR): • Library must subscribe to entire JSTOR bundle of journals, priced by “size” of institution.

  9. Mathematical Reviews (MR) • (1990) Bibliographic data keyboarded in TeX for all reviews in MR from 1940 to 1979. These were made available on MathSci Disc and online via Dialog.

  10. Mathematical Reviews, cont’d… • (1997—1998) All reviews in MR keyboarded in TeX from 1940—1984. As the keyboarded reviews became available they were put on MathSciNet.

  11. AMS Books • (2000) Began to digitize monographs from the AMS backlist, both old and relatively new titles • Depending on the state of the files, scanned at 600 dpi with a PDF wrapper or created a PDF file (chapter at a time) from a TeX file.

  13. Books Available Online Links to Mathematics Books Online - If you know of links to research-level mathematics (or mathematically related) books online, please send email to online-books@ams.org. We hope to provide a comprehensive list of books available online which will grow over time. Links to other math books online www.ams.org/online_bks/onbk_list.html
