Resources for Mathematicians: The Evolution of e-MATH

Abstract

Mathematicians have a history of devising electronic solutions to problems of production and dissemination of information. Thus, mathematics is a natural area for development of fully featured full-text databases. The AMS has responded by providing a communications network, e-MATH, on the World Wide Web. Currently the network serves as the home to an umbrella preprint server, the e-journal, Electronic Research Announcements of the AMS, and a variety of member services. In 1996, e-MATH will offer on-line access to AMS's flagship publication, Mathematical Reviews, with links from published reviews to complete papers available in on-line versions of AMS journals.
