Abstract

The paper focuses on electronic information resources in mathematics. The objective of this subject guide is to help graduate students, teachers and researchers in mathematical sciences. It tries to apprise the researchers who are keenly involved in mathematics to trace the pertinent electronic sources in mathematics out of the bewildering number of such sources which could be of immediate relevance to them. Information resources are the backbone of any research work. The research in mathematics relies heavily on past literature unlike research in other disciplines of science and engineering. Availability of literature electronically impacts the current research in mathematics. This paper could be construed as a bibliography of diverse electronic resources such as electronic databases, subject gateways, websites related to mathematics. The electronic resources include online mathematical reference sources such as dictionaries, encyclopaedias, e-books, e-journals, review databases, full-text databases, bibliographical databases, mathematical softwares, mathematical organisations, etc. It is aimed at bibliographic control. The paper is also a guiding tool for librarians serving mathematical community.
