A new listserv for mathematicians and mathematics librarians was started by the American Mathematical Society Library Committee following that committee's meeting held in Baltimore at the Joint Mathematics Meeting in January.
Subscribers must be approved by the list owner. To subscribe, send a message to majordomo@archives.math.utk.edu with only the words subscribe mathlib in the body of the message.
Messages to MathLib are being archived on the Mathematics Archives and can be read by connecting to http://archives.math.utk.edu/hypermail/mathlib/
To increase participation in the listserv, librarians are encouraged to suggest to mathematicians that they use the MathLib listserv as a place to post their queries or topics for discussion.
THE BANACH ARCHIVE
The Banach archive merged with the LANL math archive on April 1, 1998. The following two subject areas have been added to the math archive as a result of merging the Banach archive with the LANL archive.: math.FA - Functional Analysis math.OA - Operator Algebras The Banach archive was formerly run by Dale Alspach at Oklahoma State University. For additional information about the math archive, see http://xxx.lanl.gov/new/math.html. To search the archive, connect to http://xxx.lanl.gov/.
THE MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES RESEARCH INSTITUTE VIDEO ARCHIVE
The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute has been videotaping lectures from the Institute for the past year, and in an effort to make them more widely available to the mathematics community, it has been broadcasting them over the Internet in streaming-video format. The RealPlayer application is required in order to view them.
For additional information about the video archive, connect to http://www.msri.org/publications/video/.
ACCELERATED ELECTRONIC PUBLICATION OF SIAM JOURNALS BEGINS
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is pleased to announce that accelerated electronic publication of articles in its 9 research journals has begun.
Subscribers to SIAM Journals Online now have access to a significant amount of mathematical research that is not yet available to those who subscribe to the print editions only. Papers are published in a searchable, structured database that allows immediate delivery of the full text to an authorized user's desktop.
As of this writing, four journals have made the transition to early electronic publication in SIAM Journals Online. Several complete issues have been published electronically months before the print versions will be produced, and several partial issues, which will continue to be filled as papers are finalized, have also appeared. By mid 1998, papers in all of SIAM's journals will be published electronically, article by article, within 4 months of acceptance.
SIAM Journals Online provides the final version of all papers. Both Mathematical Reviews and the Institute for Scientific Information now use the accelerated electronic version as the definitive version for their coverage of SIAM journals. In addition, MathSciNet contains links to SIAM's electronically published articles.
Electronic access to this growing repository of peer-reviewed mathematical research is free with a 1998 print subscription. Electronic-only subscriptions are also available. Please contact Mary Rose Muccie, Journals Publisher, at muccie@siam.org with questions or for further information, or see SIAM's website at http://epubs.siam.org.
