About the workshop

This workshop will provide an overview of the bibliographic databases most useful for finding journal articles and information to support mathematical sciences research. We will look at both general and specialist databases provided by the library, including MathSciNet ACM digital library, IEEE Xplore, Scopus and Web of Science. This will be an interactive session with time for you to use the databases.
