AMS Updates

MathSciNet Update Improves Search Tools, Design, Accessibility Features

On June 18, the American Mathematical Society will launch the new MathSciNet interface. The AMS has updated MathSciNet’s features and layout consistently since its release in 1996, but the foundational search structure remained mostly the same. The new interface improves MathSciNet’s design, search tools, and accessibility features.

Notably, the interface has shifted to a simpler design, replacing the stacked search fields of the past with a cleaner, more intuitive single field. Accessibility features include improved clarity through fonts and contrast, as well as better screen reader compatibility. And the entire update has been designed with mobile in mind; MathSciNet now works better than ever with mobile devices. The update also includes improved filtering and refining processes, making it easier than ever to find what you’re looking for on MathSciNet.

The new interface will launch on June 18 at mathscinet.ams.org.
