  4. Maths-related databases • MathSci (ERL) • MathSciNet (web version) • INSPEC – Physics (ERL) • Compendex - Engineering • MATHDI - Mathematical education

  5. Inter-disciplinary databases • Web of Knowledge • Sciences, social sciences, and humanities • SCOPUS • New, on trial in Oxford until September 2006 • Covers sciences and social sciences • Both allow citation searching

  6. Internet resources • EEVL • Internet guide to Engineering, Maths & Computing • Freely available, maintained by information specialists at UK universities and institutions • SCIRUS • Science-specific internet search engine

  8. Getting the fulltext • Use “TOUR” link to see if full text is available • Check TDNet (Oxlip/Electronic Journals) http://tdnet.bodley.ox.ac.uk/ • Is it in an Oxford library? • Check OLIS (Oxlip/OLIS) • http://www.lib.ox.ac.uk/olis/ • If not, try Inter-Library Loan from the RSL
