The present-day best online list of serials is that of the AMS Digital Mathematics Registry. The Mathematical Reviews listings are simply part of the MathSciNet interface and not broken out separately. We post this legacy List of Serials prepared by Mathematical Reviews in December 1999. You can browse from a simple alphabet organized textually

or using a frames-style interface.

In trying to make this information hierarchy as complete and as useful as possible, we are always looking for appropriate new links to add. Please communicate any comments or suggestions to mathweb@mathontheweb.org.

This Directory of Preprint Servers makes available the current homepage URLs and email contacts of mathematical preprint and e-print servers throughout the world. It is a tool to help find these servers in order to browse the articles posted on them or to post an article to the server itself. The servers are divided into three categories: umbrella servers which cover all areas of mathematics such as the Front for the Mathematics ArXiv and the MPRESS/MathNet.preprints server, special subject servers and servers administered by mathematics departments and institutes. There is an additional link to retired preprint services.

Although automated procedures we will used to check the currency of the server URLs, we would appreciate being notified (webmaster@mathontheweb.org) of any URL or e-mail contact changes, new preprint servers, consolidation of servers, etc.
