WOW!  You MUST check out JURN, a cool, new (and free!) online resource!

0 JURN (www.jurn.org)  allows users to search 2,248 scholarly/intellectual eJournals in the arts & humanities.   It runs on a Google Custom Search so you can use it just like you would Google, only JURN searches reputable, hand-picked ejournal lists. 

0 “JURN is meant primarily as an index of English-language eJournals, but some non-English journals are also indexed. Not all journals or magazines indexed are entirely full-text – but the vast majority offer significant free full-text content, without the need for registration. Journals that only offer tables of contents and/or abstracts are not indexed.”

0 You can view a list of of JURN’s indexed eJournals in PDF format.

0 Be sure to check out the great guide to searching for FREE academic search engines too.

0 JURN also has a blog where the developers post updates and list new journals that are added to the mix.  Oh hey, looks like a JURN FireFox plug-in has been developed as well! Excellent!
