Digital libraries (DL) can be characterized as the “high end” of the Internet, digital systems which offer significant quantities of organized, selected materials of the type traditionally found in libraries, such as books, journal articles, photographs and similar documents (Schwartz, 2000). They normally offer quality resources based on the collections of well-known institutions, such as major libraries, archives, historical and cultural associations (Love & Feather, 1998). The field of digital libraries is now firmly established as an area of study, with textbooks (Arms, 2000; Chowdhury & Chowdhury, 2003; Lesk, 1997); electronic journals from the US (D-Lib Magazine: http://www.dlib.org/) and the UK (Ariadne: http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/); even encyclopedia articles (McCarthy, 2004).

The Internet makes scholarly electronic journals an opportune global mode of communication for scholarly exchange, where national and international borders are erased. The American Educational Research Association Special Interest Group, Communications among Researchers (AERA SIG CR) lists over one hundred electronic journals i n the field of education that are scholarly, peer-reviewed, full text and accessible without cost on the world wide web (see http://aera-cr.ed.asu.edu/links.html). Are these ejournals merely poor electronic imitations of print journals? Granted, the use of the Internet to publish peer-reviewed scholarship has the potential of democratizing access. But are such scholarly exchanges making effective use of the electronic medium? What innovative things can be done with new technology? How can electronic journals be preserved, used, and managed over time?

The Journal is the most accepted vehicle for the dissemenation of work results and today electronic journals are very much part of that form of dissemination. Electronic Journals (E-journals) come in many forms from academic ones to zines, which are popular and irreverent for the most part. There are many e-joumals on the Internet and the Web in education. It is an ideal medium for them. In particular, e-journals in education help the cognitive learning process. The do so by complying with learning series as outlined by Piaget, Kolb, Witkins and others. Through their flexibility with hyperlinks and the varying formats they allow, e-joumals can relate to the varying leaning styles of students. Despite of all their positive aspects, there are still a number of issues of concern with this medium of publication such as copyright, stability of format, archiving, updating, indexing and the like. Nonetheless, e-journals will continue to grow and expand due to ease of access and because, in the field of education they promote an interactive learning tool.
