Project Euclid: mathematics and statistics resources online

Project Euclid's mission is to advance scholarly communication in the field of theoretical and applied mathematics and statistics. Project Euclid is designed to address the unique needs of low-cost independent and society journals. Through a collaborative partnership arrangement, these publishers join forces and participate in an online presence with advanced functionality, without sacrificing their intellectual or economic independence or commitment to low subscription prices. Full-text searching, reference linking, interoperability through the Open Archives Initiative, and long-term retention of data are all important components of the project.
The end result is a vibrant online information community for independent and society journals. This will assure that mathematics and statistics will continue to benefit from a healthy balance of commercial enterprises, scholarly societies, and independent publishers.
Project Euclid was developed and deployed by the Cornell University Library and is jointly managed by Cornell and the Duke University Press.
"Searching is simple, with a decent range of options (e.g., title, subject, author) including the ability to limit to full text and specific journals. Search results provide links to other issues in the source journal along with links to relevant keywords and subject codes, allowing users to expand their search. Users may also browse individual journals by title, publisher, or subject area, and browse conference proceedings or monographs by title; the level of access is conveniently color coded for each title. Overall, a valuable, high-quality resource that fills a unique niche in the world of mathematics scholarship"
