New Table of Contents alerting service

I am posting here the full text of Choice Reviews Online's evaluation of a new cross-publisher TOC service:
"Journal TOCs, from the Institute for Computer Based Learning, Heriot-Watt University, Scotland.

[Visited Jul'10] Journal TOCs makes viewing tables of contents from scholarly journals easy. One of many projects from Heriot-Watt's Institute for Computer Based Learning, this resource features the table of contents (TOCs) for over 14,000 journals from more than 500 publishers, with more being added continuously. JournalTOCs features TOCs from publishers such as Elsevier, SAGE, Oxford University Press, Wiley, Springer-Verlag, and the American Psychological Association. Users may search by journal title/ISSN, or look for articles via keywords. Alternatively, browsing by Publishers or by Subjects is available. Subjects range from Ceramics, Glass and Pottery to Library and Information Sciences. Not all scholarly titles in a particular field are included. Some 70 titles are listed in the library category, e.g., Library Hi Tech News, D-Lib Magazine, Community and Junior College Libraries, and Journal of Religious & Theological Information. Others, such as Journal of Academic Librarianship, College & Research Libraries, and Portal, are not included. In a quick comparison of results from a literature review using ABI/INFORM (CH, Sep'06, 44-0039), this reviewer found less than one-fourth of the ABI/INFORM journal titles listed in JournalTOCs. Granted, ABI/INFORM has many non-scholarly titles, but missing were refereed titles, as identified by Ulrich's (CH, Feb'03, 40-3121) such as The Journal of Information Systems Education and EDUCAUSE Review. Additional publishers are being included in JournalTOCs at a surprisingly fast rate, which will make this resource very valuable indeed. The developers have added many handy features including an application programming interface (API) to allow users to embed journal TOC functionality within a Web page. Additionally, MyTOCs, an RSS feed, and RefWorks software features are available, along with a project blog, at http://www.journaltocs.hw.ac.uk/API/blog/. This practical, significant Web site will soon be an indispensable tool for students, faculty, and researchers. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general audience. -- K. Condic, Oakland University"

Evaluating education journals

I'm providing a link to a site created by the Education librarian at Michigan State which pulls together both resources and commentary on the evaluation of education journals. This is a question that librarians in all disciplines regularly receive when faculty are trying to document their scholarship impact for promotion and tenure.

Journal table of contents (TOC) alerting service

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/
