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, please contact us by phone (02-6584500), by email (library at math.huji.ac.il) or through

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.
Step 1 :
Search for articles in the databases from the
Databases page.
Click on the
FindIt @ HUJI (SFX) button/link
when available.
