Thanks Karen. Some of the journal titles have still to be matched up to subject headings – we’re working on this – so a combination of subject and keyword search currently works best.

Hi Martin,

Many thanks for the pointer. Very useful information and background to the project.

Hi Roddy, I have already deleted about half of the TOCs as they are more on the research and academic side rather than the engineering, production and policy aspects of energy (my first subject area). An excellent service that has already already alerted me to some interesting new developments.

I’ve also mentioned it on the UKeiG Web 2.0 blog at http://ukeig.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/tictocs-journal-tables-of-contents-service/

We've got an article over on FUMSI from Lisa Rogers about the development of the ticTOCs project which is a good read.

Thanks for mentioning ticTOCs, and I hope the overload doesn’t get worse Remember, ultimately its not about information overload – its about failure of filter.
