14. MPRESS Mathematics Preprints Index H combined information on mathematics preprints available in the web H Gathering of information by robots, national broker for harvesting of data H Simple search facilities H Replicator of MPRESS in EMIS H only links to full texts are provided

15. ERAM (Jahrbuch Project) Electronic Research Archive in Mathematics H Funded by DFG H Capture the content of the Jahrbuch über die Fortschritte der Mathematik (1868 - 1943) in a database H Make it available under the same search menu like for MATH H Scan selected items covered by the Jahrbuch for storage in an electronic archive

16. ERAM - Organisational Structure HEditors for the database: Keith Dennis, Cornell, Bernd Wegner, TU Berlin H Supervised by EMS H Editorial support from more than 150 volunteers H Leaders of the whole project: Elmar Mittler, SUB Göttingen, Bernd Wegner, TU Berlin H scanned images will be stored at SUB Göttingen

17. The EULER Project HA project in the Telematics for Libraries H Integrate some of the most relevant publication-related resources in the field of mathematics H “One-stop-shopping” in heterogeneous resources for the user (Portal) H Open, scalable approach H Easily portable to other subject domains
