_The Directory of Scholarly Electronic Journals and Academic
Discussion Lists, 1st ed._
For those of you tracking the growth of electronic journals and for
others of you who are providing information on sources in which
faculty can publish electronically, the Association of Research
Libraries is pleased to announce the publication of "The Directory of
Scholarly Electronic Journals and Academic Discussion Lists, First
Edition."
This title supersedes the "Directory of Electronic Journals,
Newsletters and Academic Discussion Lists," of which the seventh and
last edition was published in 1997. Like its predecessor, we expect
the Directory to become a standard reference tool for locating
scholarly, academic, or professional journals and discussion lists on
the Internet.
The new Directory is available both electronically and in print.
Access to the electronic version of the Directory is available through
IP address or password. The online version will be periodically
updated.
In the printed edition of the new Directory, the first part lists
over 3,900 peer-reviewed journal titles available electronically,
while the second part contains over 4,600 e-conferences. The new
Directory differs from the 1997 edition in scope; it contains only
peer-reviewed electronic journals due to the phenomenal growth in
web publishing by scholarly publishers.
Part one, the e-journal section, is compiled and maintained by ARL.
The e-conference entries are contributed by Diane Kovacs of Kovacs
Consulting. A freely accessible list of e-conference titles compiled
by Diane Kovacs and her team is available at
<http://www.n2h2.com/KOVACS/>.
