This is a guide to finding information on mathematics and Computer Science. It covers the HUJI Math and Computer Science Library, and also provides information on how to begin searching elsewhere, should you need to.
The Librarians are available at the Information Desk if you need assistance.

The library catalogue will not find references to articles. Periodicals are listed in the library catalogue but not periodical articles. You need to use a periodical index. These may be in print format or in electronic format. Electronic databases allow the user to access a large number of bibliographic references via a PC terminal.
