Journal TOCS

Search engine ticTOCs is now Journal TOCs, Altsearchengines (Dec 12)

Goodbye to TicTocs for finding academic journals, and hello Journal TOCs. TicTOCS, a RSS aggregation service in the UK closed quitely. But Journal TOCS opened - and is run by the same people - Santy Chumbe and Lisa Rogers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. It has 12,750 journals from 422 publishers. Journals are organized by subects and by publishers.

From the front page: "You can start by searching for TOCs by journal title or by keywords (searching 352,703 TOC articles). You also can browse TOCs by publisher or by subject. Then, if you click on a journal title, the latest Table of Contents will be displayed."

Found along the way - the JURN blog - "JURN is a search-engine indexing free ‘open access’ ejournals in the arts and humanities, along with other arts and scholarly journals offering free content."
