Hi all.

I'm interested in the subject-, topic-, or discipline-based 
categorization of ejournal titles, and hoping to get some information 
about practices at different libraries. I'd appreciate any details re:
- do you provide such subject access for ejournal titles at all?
- if so, what is the basis for determining the subject categories:
   -- LC or Dewey classification?
   -- LC, Me or other Subject Headings?
   -- Academic disciplines (how defined?)?
   -- Other (what?)?

Thanks for any help at all -- reply to me personally, and I'd be happy 
to summarize for the list if anyone is interested.
