What good is a journal article if you don't know it is there?

In order for journal articles to be used by students and scholars, they must have some way of being found. That is what indexing and abstracting services are for. The index takes all of the titles, authors and other pertinent information from published journals and makes it searchable for users. As new open-access publications are gaining reputations, various indexing services are picking them up. Biomed Central, the largest collection of open access science journals maintains a list of where their journals are indexed:

BioMed Central for libraries Journal indexing

Recently four titles (BMC Developmental Biology, BMC Immunology, BMC Neurology, and BMC
Structural Biology) were picked up for indexing by Thomson ISI, in their Science Citation Index. (CSULB staff, faculty and students have access to this index through Web of Science here)

"IEEE Adds 15,000 Historic Electron Devices Articles to Archive

Continuing its plan to digitize its entire journal backfile, IEEE this
month made available online versions of more than 15,000 articles from IEEE
Electron Devices Society publications dating as far back as 1954.
The archive now includes articles from three of the Society's most
influential publications: IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (papers
from 1954 to 1987); IEEE Electron Device Letters (papers from 1980 to
1987); and the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (papers from
1955 to 1987).
Papers from 1988-forward were already available electronically. The IEEE
online collection now contains nearly 1.2 million documents.
To view abstracts of the papers in these publications, visit:
