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 facebook הספרייה למתמטיקה ומדעי המחשב facebook.


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 HUJI SFX when available.

Note the differences between the databases.
Examples:

Mathematics (1940-   )
The MathSciNet      Adobe PDF חיפוש במאגר - הדרכה

Mathematics (Historical):
For additional resources see: Electronic Resources → Databases

Book collections in math:
A distributed digital library of mathematical monographsSearch
A collaborative project of the University of Michigan Library, Cornell University Library, and the State and University Library Göttingen.
The Göttinger Digitalisierung Zentrum (Click on Mathematica) also has articles. (see also: emani)

Article archives in Mathematics, try (for additional resources see: Electronic Databases):

Step 2 :    Check if you have access to the bibliographic items you need

First of all, search: SFX Citation Linker
More information:    Information Page  /  The Library Authority.

If you don't find it there:

  1. HUfind Library catalog  :  hufind.huji.ac.il
    or the Classic catalog
  2. SFX Find e-Journals & e-books
    More information : Hints for using SFX and frequently asked questions  /  The Library Authority
    or FindIt @ HUJI (SFX) FAQ  /  Muriel and Philip Berman Medical Library
  3. The library's subscriptions to electronic journals
  4. The MALMAD Databases and Collections list: includes many providers (publishers and databases) in all fields of research (including the Humanities and Social sciences) and many more available e-journals.
    • Check the ULE: Electronic Journal Subscriptions of MALMAD Member Libraries

Step 3 :    Searching for Periodicals in Other Libraries

Not all of the periodicals indexed will be held in the Math and Computer Science Library. If the periodical you want is not held in our library and you wish to find out which library does hold it, there are a number of locating tools you can check.

Step 4 (if steps 1-3 failed) :    Document Delivery Services    (Interlibrary loan)

Ask at the Information Desk for further information.
