SCHOLARLY JOURNALS - NEW FREE JOURNALS TABLE OF CONTENTS: ticTOCs

Keeping up-to-date with the scholarly literature just became much easier, thanks to a new service called ticTOCs - Journal Tables of Contents Service.

What it is?
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.

How to find Journal Titles

Using ticTOCs, you can:

* Find journals of interest by TITLE, SUBJECT or PUBLISHER;
* View the latest TOC;
* Link through to the full text of over 250,000 articles (where institutional or personal subscriptions, or Open Access, allow)
* Save selected journals to MyTOCs so that you can view future TOCs (free registration is required if you want to permanently save your MyTOCs).
* ticTOCs also makes it easy to export selected TOC' RSS feeds to popular feed readers such as Google Reader and Bloglines, and in addition you can import article citations into RefWorks (available through the UJ Library web page. Contact your librarian for assistance and training where necessary ).
* You can select TOCs by ticking those of interest - thousands of TOCs, within a tick or two (hence the name ticTOCs).
