Many institutions maintain lists of electronic journals. To get an idea of the magnitude of the impact of e-journals, take a look at the following sites:

"The Internet list for new journals and newsletters available on the Internet." NewJour is a mechanism for the announcement of new electronic journals, including those that are free and not-yet-published.

Each e-journal has a unit record with a description and contact information, and links to the journal site. This list also contains a directory of major publishers of e-journals and a list of links to other directories of e-journals (http://ejournal.coalliance.org/info/other.html).
