New and updated Mathematics & Statistics Resources

The UC libraries now have access to the newer 2024 and 2025 content in STMnetBASE.  This includes MATHnetBASE e-books and STATSnetBASE e-books  from CRC, Chapman & Hall, etc.   Individual titles are being cataloged/linked in UC Library Search this fall.  Let me know if you have questions about a particular title or other issues.

Springer 2024 e-books are now available as of January 2, 2025.  However, the UC's did not purchase Springer's 2 newest spinoff collections categorized as Artificial Intelligence and Mechanical Engineering.  Only Open Access titles in the Mechanical Engineering 2025 package are accessible.

March 2025 update: We are working on adding a subscription to the American Mathematical Society e-books this year instead of buying select series a year or two after the fact.  Let me know if you want UC San Diego Library to buy an AMS book and we don't have it in print nor have it online.
ACM collection 3 is in the process of being paid and activated as is the IoP final e-book package of 80 titles.
