Editor's Notes
- Short reminder of the resources available for your research.
- Your finished product (or essay, project etc) is just the tip of the iceberg. Below it is should be loads of research ie. looking at theory and facts, being inspired, getting ideas, expanding your knowledge, stimulating your imagination etc.
- More information about the range of resources available on the Library Subject Guide plus lots of useful online guides eg. how to search for information for your project.
- Click on MyStudy. You can now access library resources from the MyLibrary box……detail on next page.
- These are the things that might be useful: Summon: Use to search for information (books, journals etc) on your topic. MySubject: Gives you access to our library subject guides. Use these to find what resources are available including websites on a particular subject. Library catalogue: Use to see if we have a specific book in the library or books on the subject that you are researching. Databases: Gives you access to specialist collections of journals and other resources in a particular subject area. You can access most of these through Summon, but searching a specialist resource might save you time. Inter Library Loans: Not a resource, but a way of getting hold of material that the library doesn’t hold or provide access to.
- Explain how they can broaden their search using an asterisk* e.g. given will find computer, computers, computing, computerisation, computation etc Explain how they can refine their search using “quotation marks”. These two refining tools work well on Summon, but can also be used on the Internet. These and other refining tools which can be used on the Internet are available on our EPQ LibGuide which you all have access to…….link on the screen.
- MathSciNet® is an electronic publication offering access to a carefully maintained and easily searchable database of reviews, abstracts and bibliographic information for much of the mathematical sciences literature. Over 100,000 new items are added each year, most of them classified according to the Mathematics Subject Classification. Authors are uniquely identified (by their MR Author ID), enabling a search for publications by individual author rather than by name string. Continuing in the tradition of the paper publication, Mathematical Reviews (MR), which was first published in 1940, expert reviewers are selected by a staff of professional mathematicians to write reviews of the current published literature; over 80,000 reviews are added to the database each year. Extending the MR tradition, MathSciNet® contains almost 3 million items and over 1.7 million direct links to original articles. Bibliographic data from retrodigitized articles dates back to the early 1800s. Reference lists are collected and matched internally from approximately 550 journals, and citation data for journals, authors, articles and reviews is provided. This web of citations allows users to track the history and influence of research publications in the mathematical s
