You can set up alerting services to notify you of new journal issues in a number of databases we subscribe to, as well as through individual journals. However, this service, called TicToc, is one I wasn't previously aware of and allows you--like the INgenta service if you're familiar with that--to select as many journal titles as you want across disciplines. Here's what a colleague (thanks Meg Westbury) on a professional listserv has to say about it:
"You set up an account, choose ("tic") which academic journals you'd like to track (from a list of over 10K), and then view the tables of contents ("toc") of those journals when you like. You can set up an RSS feed ... It's a very handy and easy-to-use tool. The one drawback is that you can only view the TOCs of the most current issue of a journal; back issues aren't archived."
Have fun! http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/
