Abstract

The article presents the survey of currently existing models of organization and access to electronic journals represented on the web pages of Croatian research libraries.
Descriptive analysis and poll have shown that from the total of 147 libraries, only 12
(8 %) are constructing web pages containing electronic journal titles, 42 libraries (29 %)
have web pages with links to lists of publishers and aggregators of electronic journals, 28
libraries (19 %) incorporate electronic journals into their online catalogue, and 29 libraries
(20 %) participate in the cooperative electronic journals database – EJOL.
The current situation shows that the existing models of organization and access to
electronic journals are unsatisfactory and that cooperative database of electronic journals
EJOL is the best model, and could therefore be the integral solution for Croatian libraries
and Croatian academic community.
