Simultaneous access (several people can access the same e-journal)
Ease in search
Targets wider audience
Disadvatages
No ownership (needs continuous subscription)
Not a lot of faculty and students are aware of this new media
Limited access due to availability of internet terminals
Possibilty of system/server failure
