Finding Books in Online Catalogs
The OSU Libraries online catalog is a listing of materials owned by OSU Libraries. It can be used to find books related to math.
Finding Articles in Journals
- Academic Search Premier -- Library web 1990-present.
Indexes about 1250 publications including general interest and scientific magazines and some newspapers as well as many research journals. Abstracts included and many articles are full-text. The Valley Library subscribes to most of the magazines and journals indexed in this database. Useful for finding information on current issues in the news media - MathSciNet (Math Reviews) -- Abstracts and index: 1940-present
Covers research literature from all areas of mathematics, both theoretical and applied, and also covers related areas such as computer science, engineering, physics and statistics. This database corresponds to the printed indexes, Mathematical Reviews and Current Mathematical Publications - PapersFirst/ProceedingsFirst -- Index only: 1993-present
Index to conferences and the papers presented at them. Use PapersFirst to search by author or paper title. Use ProceedingsFirst to search by subject or conference name - ArticleFirst -- Index only: 1990-present
Indexes articles from over 12,500 journals in all fields. Use ArticleFirst to search by author, title and keyword. Also contains table of contents and holdings information for the ArticleFirst journals; search by journal name, journal subject or year - Dissertation Abstracts -- Abstracts and index: 1861-present
Index to doctoral dissertations and masters theses in all academic disciplines completed at U.S. institutions. Abstracts only since 1980 - Science Citation Index -- Index only: 1987-present
CD Network - Use limited to campus network. - Index of cited articles from over 5000 scientific journals in all areas of science. Search by cited author, original author, title keywords or journal name - WorldCat
Index to over 30 million records cataloged by most North American and European libraries. Materials indexed include books, journals, conferences, films, videos, recordings, musical scores, computer software, maps and manuscripts. Materials date back to the 11th century - Current Index to statistics, applications, methods and theory. (Valley Reference QA276.A1 C87)
