Seven years of tracking electronic publishing: the ARL Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters and Academic Discussion Lists

摘要

The ARL Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters, and Academic Discussion Lists covers an important period in the development of Internet publishing. Since 1991, each of the seven annual editions of the ARL Directory has offered a snapshot of the state of Internet publishing at that time. ARL researchers examine the characteristics of an e-journal as they search for and profile new titles. Trends in format, distribution, and content are explored by reviewing the kinds of e-serials that make up each edition of the ARL Directory.
