PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release: Fairfax, Virginia, April 11, 2002
VIVA, The Virtual Library of Virginia, has added to its extensive list of resources a
collection of seven electronic journals from the American Mathematical Society, the
leading U.S. professional association publisher of journals in pure and applied
mathematics.
The seven titles are:




Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
Conformal Geometry and Dynamics
Journal of the American Mathematical Society
Mathematics of Computation
Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society
Representation Theory
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society
All subscriptions begin with volumes from 1996 or 1997.
Journal articles are available online immediately upon completion of the editing process,
significantly pre-dating their publication in print. A special service allows readers to sign
up for email notifications of new article postings in selected journals or subject areas at
http://www.ams.org/jemail/ Articles are posted in PDF, DVI, TeX, and PostScript
formats to allow maximum flexibility in viewing mathematical formulas and diagrams.
Readers may browse journal issues or input a query into one of two search modes, a
quick search or a powerful advanced search that supports full Boolean search capabilities
in multiple fields. In addition to complex search capabilities, the journal database
features a “similar articles” option at the article level that performs a search for additional
articles assigned to same combination of subject headings. Another particularly useful
enhanced feature in this electronic journal database is the series of links from references
in article bibliographies to corresponding review summaries in MathSciNet, the AMS
index to mathematical publications. MathSciNet also provides links to AMS journal
articles directly from citation entries retrieved in searches of the index.
