Journal Table of Contents (TOC) Alerts

Most scholarly publishers create "feeds" for the tables of contents (TOCs) of their journals, and these feeds are updated with each new issue. Many also offer the option of receiving TOC alerts via email.

You may register to receive table of contents alerts from several different sources, including:

• OhioLINK Electronic Journal Center: Create a My EJC account to receive new issue alerts via email or RSS feeds
• Journal TOCsService - JournalTOCs is a free service which allows users to select journals, view the latest TOCs, and export TOC feeds to feed readers.
• Journal Publishers -- Search UlrichsWeb: Global Serials Directory for easy access to the publishers' URLs for journals; from there you'll find options for email alerts and/or RSS feeds
