Citation Index (ISI's Web of Science): a major web-based service
covering 5,700 journals in science (1945- ) and over 2,000 in other
disciplines. Special feature: search by cited reference (to find newer
papers that refer to an earlier known work).

E-Journals
E-journal mega-lists:
MHC e-journal subscriptions
for access via our campus network:
Please search the
Online Library Catalog
by journal title if you are seeking a specific title. We are now cataloging
each e-journal to which we have subscribed or signed a license agreement.
You should find records there for both print and online journals. You
should also be able to connect directly to the e-journal.
Or try Five
College E-Journal Locator (SFX): identify e-journals held by
MHC and the Five Colleges. Note: This new service does not yet contain
all of our e-journal holdings, but it does search collections such as
Academic Search Premier, BioOne, JSTOR, etc. The "Citation Linker"
will go to the full-text of a specific article if you provide the exact
volume and page numbers.
We
have subscriptions to many SIAM journals, and to a significant JSTOR
collection of journal backfiles in Mathematics and Statistics.
Other E-Journals,
freely available, useful for MHC:
You can get SOME
e-journal content free without subscription. We have not cataloged these.
We do not know if they will remain free. Selected examples:

- Current Mathematical
Publications (CMP) is a subject index of bibliographic data for
recent and forthcoming publications. Updated daily on MathSciNet.
(Most items are later reviewed in MR. All items in MR appear first in
CMP. The MR record for an item with a review replaces the CMP record
for that item.)
- Directory
of Mathematics Preprint and e-Print Servers (AMS)
- Front
for the Mathematics ArXiv (UC Davis)
- Mathematics
Preprints links to several preprint services, including xxx.lanl.gov(ArXiv).
- Prepublications:
databases of preprints from mathematical institutions in France (in
French).
- Ingenta:
free access to tables of contents for over 25,000 publications, searchable
by title keyword, author, or periodical title. Ingenta provides links
to full-text of 4500 publications (free for subscribers, or pay-per-view).
