| Abstract: |
Last years we can see a growing importance of periodicals in electronic format.
Nowadays, publishers are not just enthusiastic people, making their “own” journal, but also universities, scientifical
communities and well-known publishers. Therefore we created at the Charles University in Prague a small web portal,
which should register electronical periodicals, interesting for students and staff of our university. We register
three kinds of electronical journals:
- licensed electronical journals
- electonical journals from the full-text databases, licensed to Charles University
- free-accessible electonical journals
We know, that quality of some free-accessed web journals is low, we prepared criteria for choosing these journals into
our system. The most important for us was publisher; we accepted just periodicals, published by universities,
scientifical societies or book/journal publishers. We created a small web portal, which offers to users
following:
- browsing of journals and basic classification
- searching according journal title, publisher, ISSN
- browsing and searching keywords of journals
- indexes of publishers, journal titles and keywords
- browsing the collections of each faculties of Charles University
Administration of data is divided among specialized faculty libraries (for example mathematical library, medical
libraries etc.). These libraries manage their own (subscribed) journals and also other journals in the field in which
they are specialized.
