About MathSciNet
MathSciNet is the searchable Web database providing access to over 59 years of
Mathematical Reviews with full text abstracts and also covers Current Mathematical
Publications (from 1940 to the present), both of which are produced by the AMS.
Current Mathematical Publications, a subject index of bibliographic data for recent and
forthcoming publications, is published every three weeks and the classification scheme used is
the 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC). All items in Mathematical
Reviews appear first in Current Mathematical Publications.
MR provides timely reviews or summaries of articles and books that contain new contributions
to mathematical research.
The approximately 1600 current serials and journals reviewed in whole or in part are listed in
the Abbreviations of Names of Serials which may be viewed in PDF format or as a
browsable listing.

Basic Search for (magnetic fields) AND (electrical)
Check Box 1 and click on Box “Retrieve Marked”
This is the “Review” in CMP (Current Mathematical Publications).
This will assist in ILL.
Search (electrical) AND (american mathematical monthly). Select “Anywhere” box.
Click “To Journal.” [Note: There will be no review of this item.]
Choose June-July 1999 [guessed it was the sixth issue]
This would be the review, but this example only has the entry, no review.
