Current Awareness - Tracking journals and topics
Most of the library's full text journal platforms (publisher sites and aggregators) offer a "table of contents alert" service to send you an email with their own latest table of contents. Ask library staff for assistance.
JournalTOCs - free service providing table of contents email alerts for over 24,000 journals including all of the major academic journal publishers.
EBSCOHost, PubMed, and Proquest allow you to set up search strategies as alerts, to email you when new articles arrive in their databases matching your search.
All three also allow you to create Journal TOC alerts, although publisher sites are usually better for those. Ask library staff for assistance.
