Hi, Gabriel, 
 
TOCS-IN is a good and easily usable and in principle up-to-date 
( though I'm embarrassed , as one of the long-time volunteer 
contributors, to be hereby reminded that I'm delinquent in keeping 
up my small part ) database in the field(s) concerned ( although it 
doesn't cover book reviews ).
 
Robert's suggestion is therefore a reasonable one. Another, more 
directed, way to get a good notion which journals should be 
appropriate is to take a look in bibliographical databases that 
( unlike TOCS-IN ) incorporate a thesaurus of subject terms, or at 
least a system of rubrics ( *and* cover book reviews ).
 
One of these is Projekt DYABOLA ( 1956-Dezember 2009 ). In its 
hierarchical thesaurus, you'll find a category "Elektronische 
Datenverarbeitung" [ under "Praxis und Institutionen" > 
"Methoden" > ], which gives -- depending on how you employ it -- 
at the moment at least as many as 854 hits. Of course, you can also 
limit the results with all manner of search parameters. If you don't 
have the paid access to that, you can try the free equivalent ZENON 
DAI ( http://opac.dainst.org/F ) ( which I myself, perhaps 
exceptionally, find not easier but harder to use ). I'd have a look at 
the journals involved in that "Elektronische Datenverarbeitung" 
set ( or the part of it you select out ) ;  that may give you some very 
useful ideas.
 
Another very good possibility is the extremely up-to-date Gnomon 
online ( http://www.gnomon.ku-eichstaett.de/Gnomon/Gnomon.html ), 
with its thesaurus terms "Datenverarbeitung" / synonym "Digitalisierung" 
( 692 hits currently ) etc. 
 
And then there's the Année philologique sur Internet 
( http://www.annee-philologique.com/aph/ ). Les belles lettres has 
mysteriously failed to re-enter our IP-addresses here at the U. of 
Amsterdam for 2010, even though we paid up on time through our 
agent -- so that I can't get into it at the moment. To compound the 
problem, someone has made a mistake and had our hardcopy _APh_ 
shipped off to remote storage. Anyway, the _APh_ does have ( though 
no thesaurus, ) a rough category in which one could look for journals 
with this kind of apparent interest, as I recollect. 
 
A search ( or even a well-designed browse ) in Project Muse, where one 
can in searching limit to, among other things, the field of Classics and 
reviews, is another possibility. 
 
Paolo has mentioned the _Materiali e discussioni . . ._ and Amy the 
_AJA_, and I suppose you've already considered the most obvious 
heavyweights like _Gnomon_, _Journal of Hellenic studies_, _Journal 
of Roman studies_, _Classical review_ and maybe the _Revue des études 
grecques_, _Mnemosyne_ etc. -- so I won't mention any of those :-).
 
I hope the above may help you at least a bit. In any event -- Good luck.
 
Regards,

		Dear digital classicists,
		
		What journals would you expect to review usefully a volume of collected essays on digital research and classical antiquity? I know of Digital Humanities periodicals, but I'm looking for Classics or Archaeology focused journals that are general enough to be interested in a volume whose classical contents span the ancient world (in geography, date, discipline, etc.), and open enough to take this sort of thing.
		
		Any suggestions? Feel free to write off-list if you think this isn't of interest to everyone; I'll summarize replies to the list.
		
		Thanks,
		
		G
