It is based on the Virtual Library of Mathematics (vifamath). In addition to an overall search in all connected sources, the subject information service also offers separate search entries into the various source types as well as a thematic-hierarchical approach. The “specialized information service mathematics” is funded by the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen (SUB Göttingen) and the Technische Informationsbibliothek Hannover (TIB Hannover). Both libraries are supported by the Mathematische Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO). It is a DFG project that aims to develop an infrastructure for the supraregional provision of mathematical literature and information as well as related services (State: 05/2018).
