Finding SPIE Proceedings

U-M owns most of the SPIE Conference Proceedings, but it can be a bit difficult to find where they are located.

For a proceeding published from 1990 to the present, check to see if there is a digital version in the SPIE Digital Library.

For proceedings published prior to 1990, or for which there is no electronic version, first try a words anywhere search in Mirlyn, using 'SPIE' and the volume number; e.g.:

    SPIE 3886

If that doesn't work, try a title words search with the title of the Conference, but without the roman number number; e.g.:

  Lasers in Dentistry

not

  Lasers in Dentistry VI

Alternately to using MIRLYN, or if the MIRLYN tactics don't work, you can use the SPIE Proceedings Call Number Database to look up the call number for the proceeding by title words and/or volume number (but note that this database will not be able to tell you if it is checked out or not).

Failing the above, please contact a reference librarian for assistance.

COS Pivot

Alternative Titles
COS Funding Opportunities, COS Scholar Universe, COS Expertise
Community of Science (COS)
Description

COS Pivot is a directory of researchers and research funding opportunities that combines two comprehensive, editorially maintained databases:  the COS Funding Opportunities database of over 400,000 funding opportunities worth an estimated $33 billion, and the COS Scholar Universe database of 3 million profiles of scholars worldwide.  Its proprietary algorithm compiles pre-populated researcher profiles unique to an organization (such as University of Michigan) and matches them to revelant current funding opportunities.  This allows U-M users to search for a funding opportunity and instantly view matching faculty from inside or outside U-M.  Conversely, a search for a given scholar will link to matching funding opportunities.

Note:  Access to personalized features requires personal registration and login.  COS Pivot replaces the former COS Expertise service.

Digital Library of Mathematical Functions
Description
The Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF) Project was initiated to perform a complete revision of Abramowitz and Stegun's Handbook of Mathematical Functions with Formulas, Graphs, and Mathematical Tables, published in 1964 by the National Bureau of Standards. See R. F. Boisvert and D. W. Lozier (2001) for historical background about this important publication. The DLMF Project has updated and expanded the coverage for current needs. The results have been published in book form as the NIST Handbook of Mathematical Functions, by Cambridge University Press, and disseminated in the free electronic Digital Library of Mathematical Functions.
