Table of Contents Service

(With appreciation to my colleague, Colin McCaffrey (cmccaffr@wustl.edu)).

The following free service might be of interest to you and your faculty and grad students—especially those who haven’t set up their own RSS readers. It’s a joint project of a group of universities and publishers, mostly in the UK, that provides access to current the current Tables of Contents of over ten thousand journals. It requires a lot less effort than setting up an RSS reader and finding appropriate feeds—though of course with less flexibility.

And for those who are already RSS-savvy, it’s an easy way to find and export TOC feeds without dealing with the idiosyncrasies of publisher’s Web sites.
