Project Euclid - new site announcement

From the Special Libraries Association's Physics, Astronomy, Mathematics email list:

Cornell University Library and the staff of the Center for Innovative Publishing and E-Publishing Technologies are pleased to announce the launch of a new version of Project Euclid
(http://ezproxy.lib.ucalgary.ca:2048/login?url=http://projecteuclid.org/),
our enterprise publishing service for mathematics and statistics literature.

The updated site offers enhanced functionality and a fresh new design. Powered by Cornell's publishing system, DPubS v.2, Project Euclid now supports on-line publication of a wider range of content types, including monographs and conference proceedings; improved searching via Lucene; publisher-driven customization options; and initiutive administrative tools. Later this year, Project Euclid will provide a set of tools to facilitate the peer review process for journals.

New to Project Euclid with this upgrade are the Notre Dame Lecture Series on Mathematics (1942--1990) and, by year's end, the entire run of the Proceedings of the Berkeley Symposium on Mathematical Statistics and Probability (1946--1971). Both are available on an open access basis.

Forty-five journals and 42,000 articles from 30 partner publishers are available from Project Euclid. Seven new journals will be joining Project Euclid this year. Forthcoming this summer will be complete backfiles for the Tohoku Mathematical Journal and the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, the backfiles of the four flagship journals from the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, links to the back issues of the Bulletin and Journal of the Association for Symbolic Logic on JSTOR, and, under special arrangements with the American Mathematical Society, the back volumes of the Bulletin of the AMS (1891-1991).
