Subject keyword lists for Online Journals and Databases

	I'm in the process to redesigning our library website.   One of the
areas I would like to change is for some pages to be dynamically generated.
I'm looking at the list of online Electronic Journals and Databases we
subscribe to.  I would like to put these journals titles into a database
with keywords (along with other information such as URL, short description,
setup information, etc...).   Currently we have a list of journals and
databases listed by subject, but the subject breakdown is not always very
descriptive (for example "General").   One of the goals is have one location
(database) containing the information, then using that information to
generate web pages such as "E Journals alphabetical and by subject",
"Internet Resources by subject" - page that list relevant websites based on
subjects (keywords) such as web pages, Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists,
journals, databases, etc.  The ultimate goal is to have fewer static web
pages to maintain.
	What I am looking for is a web page with a list of all the
Electronic Journals and Databases available,  subject keywords, a short
description,  the provider, and any other helpful information.   I have
found some web pages such as http://www.arl.org/scomm/edir/archive.html
(Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters and Academic Discussion Lists
Archive)  But these lists do not have a subject keywords.
