ABSTRACT
E-journal management tools have become increasingly sophisticated and user-friendly, both for librarians and patrons. Initially, early tools from subscription agents and serials vendors, such as EBSCO Online (now EBSCOhost Electronic Journals Service), were virtually all that existed in the commercial arena to assist librarians in the management of exponentially growing e-journal collections and assist users in finding the e-materials they desired. These serial vendor tools, however, were quickly joined by other services, such as A-to-Z lists, link resolvers, federated searching products, and MARC record services.
