Subject: Re: getting a subject listing of electronic journals -- Philip Wallas From: Jean Dartnall <Jean.Dartnall@jcu.edu.au> Date: Wed, 02 Apr 2003 08:55:09 +1000 The free Ebsco list sounds like a great idea but some of the subject allocations seem a bit odd e.g Abstacts in social gerontology - Books in General. Book Industries & Trade. Bibliography Academic Psychiatry - Internal Medicine. Practice of Medicine. Accident Analysis & Prevention - Social Pathology. Social & Public Welfare. Criminology Accreditation and Quality Assurance - Social Pathology. Social & Public Welfare. Criminology There is no saving in time or effort if the subjects would have to be checked anyway.
