    Rez. in: Mathematical intelligencer 27(2005) no.2, S.80-81 (J.P. Ladwig u. E.B. Williams): "This book deals with the basic tools and skills needed in the mathematical laboratory." It is written not only for librarians, but more importantly for undergraduates doing mathematical research, for graduate students, and for faculty exploring new areas. This is the 66th volume of Dekker's Books in Library and Information Science. It is divided into two parts, "Tools and Strategies," and "Recommended Reading by Subject," and it has two indexes: author and subject. The first place a seasoned mathematician is likely to browse is Part II, "Recommended Readings by Subject," just to check the list of resources for his or her subject. The subjects included are: History of mathematics Number theory Combinatorics Abstract algebra Algebraic and differential geometry Real and complex analysis Differential equations Topology Probability theory and stochastic processes Numerical analysis Mathematical biology Mathematics education NOTE: We understand from the editor that contributors for other subjects (like mathematical logie) would have been welcome. Each subject is given a chapter written by a mathematician and/or a mathematics librarian. Each entry gives enough information to locate and even order the resource, and often a one- or two-sentence description. The emphasis is an books, but key journals and on-line resources are also indicated. The chapters generally contain an introduction, a section an general sources, and then sections for the major subdivisions of a field. Sections often refer to general texts, and then further refine the subdivision. For example, the chapter an topology by Alan Hatcher contains a section an introductory books, then sections an algebraic topology, manifold theory, low-dimensional topology, history, and other resources. The section an manifold theory, for example, discusses differential topology, piecewise-linear topology, topological manifolds, and surgery theory.
    Part 1, "Tools and Strategies," contains three chapters. The first is a very interesting one an the culture of mathematics. For undergraduates who are thinking about advanced study (or for friends and family who are puzzled about what a mathematician does), this is a concise and even elegant overview. "Tools" continues with chapters an "Finding Mathematics Information" and an "Searching the Research Literature." Both chapters are written by experienced mathematics librarians and answer questions asked by those learning and studying mathematics. "Finding Mathematics Information" contains sixteen sections (too many to enumerate)-two of our favorites are "Locating Definitions and Basic Explanations" and "Finding or Verifying Quotations and Anecdotes." As with Part II, each entry contains complete bibliographic information with a one- or twosentence abstract. "Searching the Research Literature" contains five sections: introduction, strategies, finding journal articles using indexes, finding papers an the Web, and obtaining the resources found. This chapter is more of a discussion than a list of resources, but like the chapter an "Finding Mathematics Information" would be helpful for someone just beginning research in mathematics. Because this work is primarily arranged by discipline, it offers a different perspective than Nancy D. Anderson and Lois M. Pausch, editors, A Guide to Library Service in Mathematics (Greenwich, CT: JAI Press, Inc.), 1993. One might also consult the $65 book by Martha Tucker and Nancy Anderson, Guide to Information Sources in Mathematics and Statistics (Westport, CT: Libraries Unlimited), 2004. The book's major drawback is its price - 42c per page vs. 19c for Tucker and Anderson. However, it is still an important addition to your library's collection, a relevant resource for undergraduate and graduate student advisors, and perhaps a gift for the new librarian who will be working with your department."

    Footnote
    Der pädagogische Anspruch des Werkes zeigt sich am deutlichsten im »nullten Band«, der »Propaedia« oder »Outline of Knowledge«. Es handelt sich um nichts weniger als den Versuch, die Gesamtheit des menschlichen Wissens säuberlich in zehn große Schubladen zu sortieren, die wieder in Unter- und Unterunterschubladen (divisions und sections) eingeteilt sind. Eine division des großen Wissensgebiets »Human Life« ist zum Beispiel »Stabes in the Development of Human Life« mit den sections »Human Evolution« und »Human Heredity«. Letztere enthalten Empfehlungen zum Weiterlesen in Micro- und Macropeadia. Wie sieht es mit Aktualität und Detailreichtum des gedruckten Werkes aus? Zumindest dem Kandidaten von »Wer wird Millionär?«, der bei der Frage nach dem zweiten Vornamen der »Harry Potter«-Autorin Joanne K. Rowling sehr ins Schwitzen geriet, hätte das Werk geholfen. Die Dame heißt »Kathleen«. Joschka Fischer wird mit einer ausführlichen Biografie gewürdigt. Diese bekommt allerdings nicht jeder Besitzer des Werkes zu Gesicht: Sie befindet sich in einem der jedes Jahr zusätzlich aufgelegten Bände »Britannica Book of the Year« - in diesem Fall von 1996. Für den Hauptteil ist unser Außenminister offensichtlich noch nicht lange genug im Geschäft. Schwieriger wird es, wenn schon die Frage nicht ganz klar ist: »Apropros Alarmanlagen. War da nicht irgendwann einmal etwas mit Gänsen, die einen Überfall verhinderten?« Unter welchem Stichwort sollte man da schauen? Gänse? Historische Überfälle? Hier hilft die elektronische Version, die schon auf die Suchbegriffe »geese« und »warning system« die Geschichte vom nächtlichen Überfall der Gallier auf Rom im Jahre 390 v. Chr. liefert. Die Begeisterung über den Erfolg darf sich aber in Grenzen halten. Die Internet-Suchmaschine Google findet die Gänsegeschichte genauso schnell, sogar in wesentlich ausführlicherer Form, desgleichen den zweiten Vornamen von Frau Rowling. Und über Joschka Fischer findet man auf dessen eigener Website noch einiges mehr als nur seine Biografie. Macht also eine gute Suchmaschine das ganze Lexikon entbehrlich? Ich glaube nicht. Die Encyclopaedia beantwortet doch noch mehr Fragen als das Internet. Vor allem aber kann man den Antworten in (fast) jeder Hinsicht vertrauen. Für Recherchezwecke ist die gedruckte Form der »Britannica« der digitalen eindeutig unterlegen. Letztere wird immerhin vierteljährlich aktualisiert; außerdem bietet sie vielfältige Suchstrategien, zusätzliche Bilder, Videos, Animationen, den Online-Zugriff auf mehrere tausend Zeitschriftenartikel, Videoclips und Verweise auf Zigtausende von Websites, die eigens von den »Britannica«-Redakteuren ausgewählt wurden. Ist es also reine Nostalgie - vielleicht sogar Snobismus -, sich die Prachtbände ins Regal zu stellen? Vielleicht mag es ja Leute geben, die ganze Kapitel am Bildschirm lesen oder sich ausdrucken. Wenn es um Lernvergnügen und nicht nur um kurze Fakteninformation geht, dann ist für mich ein Buch in den meisten Fällen die bessere Wahl. Durch die pädagogische Sorgfalt der Redakteure fühlt sich der Leser eingeladen, sich einen Überblick über ganze Gebiete zu verschaffen und nicht nur schnelles Wissen abzugreifen. Wo ein Kapitel bis zu 300 Seiten lang sein kann, da ist die Buchform sehr willkommen. Und ganz ehrlich - ein bisschen Tradition und Nostalgie schadet nicht. Die Herausgeber pflegen diese Tradition auf besondere Weise. Unter http:// www.1911encyclopedia.org ist die Originalausgabe der »Britannica« von 1911 abzurufen - kostenlos."
