Our library created an online index to identify electronic databases that
has full text per journal title we subscribe to -- obviously, you will see
that this list will be geared toward our subscriptions at Cleveland State
University Library (database as well as journal title) but this is a very
useful tool to have -- here is the url

Subject: [ARLIS-L] cancelling print for electronic issues
Hello everyone--
I read last week's postings on print vs. electronic journal issues with
interest. A question was posed whether anyone
has done a comparison of print and electronic "equivalents" to
find out if they were really equivalent.
While not the same thing, I recently did an unscientific examination of
electronic databases, comparing them to each other (aggregators to
aggregators, gateways to gateways, databases to databases, etc), by
tracing an individual journal through each one to see how it was
indexed/abstracted/presented full text. I hope to have this
information written up and published soon, before the data gets too
old! But what I did discover, purely by looking and examining, is that
Project Muse was the better product, in terms of delivering full text
articles with images. So I agree with Liv and her colleague about
Project Muse.
In an email to Project Muse about this, I started a short back and
forth with someone there who was very interested in knowing about
art journal titles I would recommend for indexing. So I sent her a list
of what I consider to the be the top twenty art journal titles.
Whatever comes of this, and maybe nothing for now, its good to
know that the interest is there.
thanks for the discussion,
