ticTOCS – new alerting service

Keeping up-to-date with the scholarly literature can be made easier by using services such as ticTOCs – Journal Tables of Contents Service http://www.tictocs.ac.uk.

ticTOCs is a new scholarly journal tables of contents (TOCs) service. It’s free, its easy to use, and it provides access to the most recent tables of contents of over 11,000 scholarly journals from more than 400 publishers. It helps scholars, researchers, academics and anyone else keep up-to-date with what’s being published in the most recent issues of journals on almost any subject.

You can save selected journals to MyTOCs so that you can view future TOCs (free registration is required if you want to permanently save your MyTOCs).

Check it out at http://www.tictocs.ac.uk.

There are also many other TOC services available – feel free to contact me if you need some assistance finding the best ones.
