Since couple of years, I was thinking to compile a list of electronic resources in general and journals/magazines in particular, available free of cost on open access mode via Internet. According to me, librarianship is a profession where one has to keep their eyes and ears open to keep up to date himself/herself with the latest development in their respective interest areas. Innovation of technology is changing ways of floating ideas in view of global perspectives of its usage. Web 2.0 application in the libraries has provoked and pondered upon new and new areas of librarianship.
Following is the list of few e-Journals/Magazines openly available on the Internet. The list grows up and new links will be added in due course of time.
ATG is published on paper six times a year, in February, April, June, September, and November and December/January. It prominently gives news about libraries, publishers, book jobbers, and subscription agents.
