Abstract

In present scenario publishers of freely available electronic journals have the potential for positively transforming the highly problematic economics of scholarly publishing. But actual use of electronic scholarly publications shows that they present serious utilization barriers to would-be readers. Practical awareness, indexing, and archiving in this new literature can overcome these barriers and is essential if such promising publications are to transform scholarly communication. DLIST (Digital Library for Information Science and Technology) can meet these needs by integrating electronic publications into existing information systems. Thus disintermediation of the scholarly publishing process will help the clientele of the low budget library in all respects.
