At Lehigh, I've extracted e-journals from our SirsiDynix Symphony
catalog via API into alphabetical and discipline-based XML documents.
We then index those documents with Swish-e (http://www.swish-e.org/) and
display the browse-able XML alphabetized lists and search interface in
our Drupal-base
The cheapest and best A to Z list i know is the german EZB:

SubjectsPlus (an open-source subject guide system built by Code4Libber
Andrew Darby) generates a nice A-Z list. I don't know if you're
looking for a solution for subject guides, too, but if you are I'd
definitely give that a look -- http://www.subjectsplus.com. We use it
here and like it a lot.
