RE: Journals on the Internet

The best source of information I have found for new journals available
electronically is New Jour: Electronic Journals and Newsletters, listowners
Ann Okerson (Yale University) and James O'Donnell (UPenn).
The URL is: http://gort.ucsd.edu/newjour/
There is an alphabetical list of journals and in most cases, a link to the
journal itself (where you could possibly find pricing information). Some of
your STM journals may also be found on MEDWEB, a list compiled by the Health
Sciences Center Library at Emory University. The URL is:
http://www.cc.emory.edu/WHSCL/medweb.ejs.html.
In my (brief) experience so far, various online versions of journals have
been offered free on a temporary trial basis, but it looks like most (at
least in the STM area) will require payment eventually.

My management has asked me to identify which of our library's vast collection
of science and technology journals are available on the Internet full-text
and at what price. My management is hoping that some journals will be free
or at a reduced cost via the Internet. My questions are:
1) Is there an easy way to do this?
2) If not, any suggestions?
3) If I were to search each of our science/technology journals on the
Internet, what is the likelihood of the Internet versions being free or at a
reduced cost?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
