My *completely* biased yet ecumenical rundown of the current contenders.

Serials Solutions- a journal list product, very good at what they do.
JournalWebCite- a hosted journal list and serial search sevice, lots 
of handy features
1Cate- hosted OpenURL linking and title listing service, I blush if I say more
TDNet- comprehensive journal article portal product/service
SFX- sfxy OpenURL linking product, just adding a-z lists.
LinkFinderPlus- OpenURL linking product from Endeavor
ZPortal with OpenLinking - MetaSearch plus OpenURL linking web gateway product.
