Guide to library resources in mathematics.

Find sources

word bubble iconFind good keywords

  • Keyword tool: This tool from the University of Texas at Austin guides you through the process of creating a keyword search.
  • Using Boolean logic: This pdf from the University of Toronto explains how to use AND, OR, NOT, " ", * , and other modifiers in your search.

laptop iconChoose a database (or use Library Search)

  • Databases: specialized resources to find scholarly sources about a specific area, such as sciences, agriculture, medicine, etc.
  • Library Search: search the entire library's holdings, including books and articles. Library Search will not return results that we do not own or subscribe to, so it is not an exhaustive search.

Databases

Math databases

Interdisciplinary databases

The databases below are good places to look for articles and books about topics in the sciences, but are not good for searching mathematics literature.
