SINM: The Italian National Information System for Mathematics

摘要

SINM (Sistema Informativo Nazionale per la Matematica) is the Italian National Information System for Mathematics. It enables the Italian mathematical community to have easy access to a coordinated system of bibliographical, documentary, full-text and multimedia resources. It aims at the development, diffusion and sharing of electronic information resources regarding mathematics, at a less possible waste of technical and financial resources. The SINM Web site is accessible at the URL http://siba2.unile.it/sinm . Since 1991 SINM is coordinated by the University of Lecce, in particular by SIBA Coordination (http://siba2.unile.it), in agreement with the Italian mathematical University and research organizations libraries. Within this Information System, SIBA Coordination has developed many national projects for the cataloguing, digitalization and fruition of bibliographical and documentary material, for the publication and consultation of electronic journals and for the conversion in electronic format of the back volumes. To cite some of them: 1. the National Journals Catalogue of Mathematical, Physical, Computer and Technological Sciences; 2. the OldenMath (Olden Mathematical books and documents) System; 3. SINM-MPRESS (Mathematical Preprints Search System); 4. REIM (Riviste Elettroniche Italiane di Matematica) Project.
