I just subscribed to this service. It's a bit misleading. I got, within
a minute or two of subscribing, a list of links to various professional
journals. Picking a couple at random, here's what I found:

American Libraries: you just get a table of contents -- no links to
anything.
Library Cataloging, Acquisitions, and Technical Services: you get the
table of contents and can link to the abstract, full document, or the
PDF file. I clicked on my own article (yay!) and got a new page from
Science Direct asking me to pay $30 to subscribe.

D-Lib and First Monday are free online journals I already knew about;
there are probably a few more in the list but I don't have time at the
moment to go through them all (can you say, hurry up with the cataloging
before we shut down to move to a new ILS?)

Just wanted to warn you -- this service isn't going to get you
everything you see for free.

Hello all,

Can anyone suggest any serials related to libraries and librarianship
that are free to receive?

Best regards,
Todd
