This book is a reference for librarians, mathematicians, and statisticians
involved in college and research level mathematics and statistics in the 21st
century. We are in a time of transition in scholarly communications in
mathematics, practices which have changed little for a hundred years are giving
way to new modes of accessing information. Where journals, books, indexes and
catalogs were once the physical representation of a good mathematics library,
shelves have given way to computers, and users are often accessing information
from remote places. Part I is a historical survey of the past 15 years tracking
this huge transition in scholarly communications in mathematics. Part II of the
book is the bibliography of resources recommended to support the disciplines of
mathematics and statistics. These resources are grouped by material type.
Publication dates range from the 1800's onwards. Hundreds of electronic
resources-some online, both dynamic and static, some in fixed media, are listed
among the paper resources. Amazingly a majority of listed electronic resources
are free.
