At Kent State we are adding the individual DOAJ titles to our catalog.
Currently we have 1097 of the 1219 journals listed on the DOAJ website.
Approximately 88% of records for these titles are available via OCLC.
All records in our local catalog are collocated with a 730 for Directory
of open access journals (DOAJ).  You can browse what we have by initiating
a keyword search for "DOAJ" in our catalog or a title search for
"Directory Of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)" at http://kentlink.kent.edu/.

I presented a poster session on our efforts to catalog the DOAJ titles at
the NASIG conference in Milwaukee.  I would be happy to send the handout
from that presentation to those interested.
