EJournal access problems

We often have access problems early in each calendar year. Often these are due to invoice problems or systems changes at the publisher. Please report access problems so we can get them repaired quickly. Email Ruth , use Ask Us! or use the EResources Problem Report form. Thank you!

HathiTrust: WU users can now download books there

As of January 1, 2012, the WU Libraries joined the HathiTrust Digital Library, whose goal is to digitize, preserve, and increase online access to library collections. The trust derives its name from hathi (pronounced "HAH-tee"), the Hindi word for elephant.

HathiTrust began in 2008 and has grown to over 10 million volumes. Content covers subjects and disciplines in the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences in over 425 languages.

WU faculty, students, and staff can:

• Download 2.7 million+ volumes in the public domain. About 7,000 full-view titles are in QA (Library of Congress classification for mathematics). Most of these are pre-1923.
• Search the full text of 10 million+ volumes. Search page (including fulltext search). You can also search within the full text of a specific item.
• Create personalized collections of items in HathiTrust

You can search for HathiTrust Catalog directly from the WU Libraries' website using the eBooks tab. Note: Hathi books are not included in the WU catalog except by request. Please let Ruth know if you need something added, for example, for convenient student access.

WUSTL Authors' Discounts on Open Access Author Processing Fees

We have recently updated Subsidized Open Access Fees for WU and WUSM Authors. New in 2012: WUSTL has purchased Hindawi and PLoS institutional memberships which allow WU authors discounts on those article processing fees.

MOBIUS links are changing

We will update all links on the library websites and catalogs, but if you have bookmarks to the MOBIUS catalog, you should change them before June 30, 2012. Old links were mobius.umsystem.edu or mobius.missouri.edu. Please change to http://searchmobius.org. Mobius services will continue unchanged.

LaTex tutorials; Newton Project; Math publishing

Miscellaneous links which you may find interesting:

LaTeX Tutorial - found on YouTube where more can be found.

The Newton Project has been getting some press this month as many texts by and about Newton are being digitized and made available there. There are already many Mathematical works. Wired Campus blog post: Archive Watch: Cambridge Digital Library Starts Off by Posting Newton’s Papers

Mathematicians' Views on Current Publishing Issues: A Survey of Researchers, by Kristine K. Fowler, Mathematics Librarian, University of Minnesota - This article in Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, Fall 2011, brought to mind the Scripta Manent monthly series in Notices of the American Mathematical Society, Sept. 2011+
