  This paper argues that, contrary to the beliefs of many, the amount of
mathematics information available for African researchers, including electronic
scientific journals and databases, is indeed substantial. However, whereas
information resources are served on a silver platter at the "northern"
universities, researchers at universities in developing countries have to work
hard for their treats.
  The scientific information available for low-income countries is scattered
among a large number of providers, websites, access methods, price models, and
country- or institution-specific programmes. It is therefore quite hard for
individual researchers to see the whole picture and establish what actually is
available and what is not.
  This paper presents a number of key information sources for mathematics. Some
are aimed primarily at disciplines other than mathematics but nevertheless
contain extremely important and high-ranking mathematics journals. Brief
instructions are also given on how to register for and maintain access to
various relevant and useful resources.
