Databases / Indexes

Book Indexes

Search these databases for books.

VIRGO
Information on over 4 million books, journals, and other items held in the University of Virginia's libraries, including business, health sciences, and law.
MathSciNet 1940+
From the American Mathematical Society, this database is based on the data in Mathematical Reviews and Current Mathematical Publications, leading publications that catalog and review research literature in mathematics.
Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information Catalogue
Search for books, technical reports, journals and conference proceedings in all areas of science, engineering, health sciences and agriculture.
Center for Research Libraries Online Catalog
The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) is an international not-for-profit consortium of colleges, universities, and libraries that makes available scholarly research resources to users everywhere. These resources include many hard-to-find and scarce items often not readily available elsewhere. UVA faculty and students may request books from CRL's collections via Interlibrary Services.
Linda Hall Library of Science, Engineering and Technology
The Linda Hall Library, a private institution funded by endowment, serves the scientific research community as a resource for engineering and technical materials, including over 600,000 volumes, 1.1 million microforms, U.S. Patents since 1946, and subscriptions to 16,500 journals.
Mathematical Fiction
Compiled by Alex Kasman of the College of Charleston, this database of nearly 500 stories and novels is an attempt to collect information about all significant references to mathematics in fiction.
WorldCat (FirstSearch)
Contains records from thousands of North American libraries.

Current Awareness Services

- Many journal publishers and database vendors offer alerting services which you can use to have journal tables of contents or other information about articles of interest E-mailed to you on a periodic basis. Some of these services appear below. You can learn more about keeping current in your field at Alison McNab's Keeping Your Research Up to Date web page or at the Mathematics Current Awareness Services web page from the Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library (EEVL).
