The cheapest and best A to Z list i know is the german EZB:

http://rzblx1.uni-regensburg.de/ezeit/index.phtml?bibid=AAAAA&colors=7&lang=en

This list is maintained by hunderds of libraries. You just mark those 
journals you have licensed and that's it.

Not very widely known: they do also provide an API which you can use as 
a free linkresolver. There are free tools you can plug into this API and 
you've got your linkresolver.

The list is incredible accurate and you'll have almost no effort: any 
change made by one library is valid for all.

Let me know if you need more information.

We'd like to do something that looks more modern and is far more user friendly. I found a great article in the Code4Lib journal (issue 12, by Danielle Rosenthal&  Mario Bernado) about building a searchable A to Z list using Drupal. I'm also wondering what other institutions have done as far as in-house solutions. I know there're products we could buy, but, like everyone else, we don't have much money at the moment.
