Table of Contents Service for Scholarly Materials
Scholarly journals - new free service makes keeping up-to-date easy by Roddy MacLeod, ticTOCs (Dec 11)
Roddy MacLeod runs a blog to report on the ticTOCs project in the UK - "The aim of the ticTOCs project is to develop a service which will transform journal current awareness by making it easy for academics and researchers to find, display, store, combine and reuse tables of contents from multiple publishers in a personisable web based environment."
This project has just released a new table of contents service for journals.
"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."
More details are given in New improved ticTOCs Journal Tables of Contents service now available
ticTOCs is impressive. Search by word in title, subject or publisher, find journal titles and select, view the current issue, and add this is a favourite journal (requires registration). You can export the table-of-contents page as a feed to Google Reader or iGoogle home page. This is terrific.
