Online, full-text, and free - just what most patrons are asking for these days. As librarians, we are also looking for quality control. The Directory of Open Access Journals, in cooperation with SPARC [ http://www.doaj.org/articles/news/030512/ ] , based at Lund University, Lund, Sweden, is a database of nearly 700 journal worldwide journal titles. They also have information on how to include the journals in a library's collection [ http://www.doaj.org/articles/questions/#metadata ]. The database records can be harvested from the Open Archives Initiative [ http://www.openarchives.org/ ] .
