Dear All, Lund University Libraries has, with financial support from the National Library of Sweden, put together a new tool to support researchers in their choice of journal for publication. The service, called "Journal Info", gives fast and simple access to journal information through a web interface, http://jinfo.lub.lu.se <http://jinfo.lub.lu.se/> . The journal information is divided up in general, accessibility, cost and quality and each area is supported by a number of relevant points. You can e.g. find in which databases a journal is indexed, how much it costs for the library to subscribe and which alternative OA journals exists. A total of 18,000 journals are currently supported in the database. The service takes its aim at the researchers themselves and includes explanations for the interested beginner. The information is compiled from a larger number of services and will continually be updated. The service is designed to be a complement to DOAJ, the Directory of Open Access Journals (www.doaj.org), which is also produced in Lund. Welcome to test the new service. Please send comments and forward the announcement to fellow researchers and colleagues. Best regards, Håkan --------- Håkan Carlsson Biblioteksdirektionen / Head Office Lunds universitet / Lund University Libraries Box 134 221 00 LUND Tel. +46 46-222 15 30 Fax + 46 46-222 36 82
