Recently, most of the major commercial publishers have started to provide electronic journals (e-journals). Subscription agents and database providers have also launched a range of aggregation services for e-journals. It is now a real challenge for academic libraries to integrate e-journals into digital library services. In this paper, advantages of e-journals and the current status of provision in academic libraries are reviewed. Next, such issues as pricing and provision of e-journals are discussed. A library consortium is suggested as a way to overcome these difficulties.
