Electronic resources
All the electronic resources for Mathematics and Physics can be found through Primo where you can discover individual resources or cross-search a number of them at once. Primo includes key resources such as citation databases, e-journals and e-books, selected websites, subject gateways, data and media resources, news, reference materials and library catalogues.
Visit http://primo.aber.ac.uk/ and Sign In, then click on Databases A-Z and select Mathematics and Physics from the Category menu to find important e-resources such as MathSciNet, Wolfram Mathworld and JSTOR. Information about each resource is available by clicking on the Show Info button next to it which includes essential information on access on and off-campus.
