searching individual e-journal titles

[Diana Matthews]

Greetings,

As I'm sure many academic libraries are doing, my college library is transitioning to subscribing to e-journals in lieu of print journals. This allows for more access from students in online-only degrees or those who live throughout our two-county service area.

However, subscribing to e-journals individually means a loss in broad searching capabilities. We have quite a few databases, but many of these e-journal titles are not indexed within them. Are there any ideas for compiling a method of searching through table of contents for multiple journals amongst different publishers? My college does not currently have a discovery tool. I'm thinking something that works like Yahoo Pipes. My college has limited funding and technical specialists, so the cheaper and easier, the better!

Thanks,
