The free Ebsco list sounds like a great idea but some of the subject
allocations seem a bit odd e.g Abstacts in social gerontology - Books in
General. Book Industries & Trade. Bibliography
Academic Psychiatry  - Internal Medicine. Practice of Medicine.
Accident Analysis & Prevention - Social Pathology. Social & Public Welfare.
Criminology Accreditation and Quality Assurance - Social Pathology.
Social & Public Welfare. Criminology

There is no saving in time or effort if the subjects would have to be
checked anyway.

 >
 > 1. Free--go to http://ejournals.ebsco.com/login.asp You don't need to be
 > an EBSCO customer or to log in, just click on Complete List of journals
 > on EJS on the right, then when you get the first page of the list, click
 > on Download Complete List on the right.  What you get is a list of more
 > than 9,000 e-journals available by subscription, with subject
 > lassifications for more than 8,300 of them.
 >
 > 2. Paid service--EBSCO's AtoZ service covers the EJS e-journals plus
 > full text titles available in aggregated databases, again with subject
 > classifications.  AtoZ also allows the library to add its own list of
 > additional electronic resources.  Learn more at http://atoz.ebsco.com
