Search the following databases to locate citations and/or full text of journal articles. In some cases, the database will provide links to the full text of articles. If you see a  button next to an article of interest, click it to determine whether the journal is available in the Geisel Library or in full text via another electronic database. WebBridge will also help you request articles through Interlibrary Loan if they aren't available through our library. If there is no WebBridge button, search for the journal's availability using the Journal Finder. Journals listed as being in "Geisel Library Paper Holdings" are shelved alphabetically by journal title on the Lower Level of the library.
MathSciNet
This is the preeminent electronic index to the scholarly literature of mathematics, containing abstracts and citation information on nearly two million journal articles. It also offers citation searching capabilities that enable you to trace ideas through the literature.
Academic Search Premier
A broad index providing abstracts and some full-text for a range of academic areas, including mathematics.
JSTOR
Search here for full-text articles from major journals in many disciplines, including mathematics. Math journals available in JSTOR include the American Journal of Mathematics, Annals of Mathematics, Journal of the American Mathematical Society, and The American Statistician. Coverage is generally from the beginning of publication to within 5 years of the current issue. User Guide
Papers First
Search here for titles of papers presented at conferences worldwide. Since these papers aren't always indexed in other databases, this is a good resource for tracking down the conference literature and monitoring the latest research trends. (1993–present)

Search the library catalog to locate books in Geisel Library. Search by keyword (e.g., calculus) if you are unsure of the title you are looking for. Mathematics books are located on the Upper Level of the library in the QA (Mathematics) call-number area.
Use WorldCat to search the collections of libraries worldwide. If you find a book in this database that is not owned by Geisel Library, you can request it from Interlibrary Loan with one click. Your book(s) will be available for pickup in the library within 7–14 days. Ask for help in using this database at the reference desk, in person, or online at Ask a Librarian.
Ebrary is an online library containing thousands of e-books spanning across all scholarly disciplines. Books can either be opened in QuickView for instant viewing or in the ebrary Reader (a downloadable plug-in), which provides enhanced functionality such as the ability to copy/paste, highlight, or take notes in a particular book.

Searching the World Wide Web can yield a vast amount of information, but in terms of quality and reliability, your results may be uneven at best. The ease and speed with which individuals can publish information on the web, regardless of accuracy or quality, makes it imperative that when doing research on the web you know how to evaluate the information you find. To learn more, see Judging What You Find.
