            Subject: British Library table of contents service
    
    Although the following service is only available to those of us in U.K. 
    academic institutions, those outside that orbit may be interested in its 
    existence. (The reference to KCL below is to King's College London.)

    >ZETOC provides access to the British Library's Electronic Table of
    >Contents database of over 15 million article titles derived from the
    >20,000 most important research journals in the world, dating back to
    >1993. It is updated daily with approximately 10,000 new additions.
    >The database includes a unique collection of over 100,000 conference
    >papers, indexed to title level.
    >
    >ZETOC is available via a web interface at:
    >
    >http://zetoc.mimas.ac.uk
    >
    >and as a Z39.50 target, allowing searching via EndNote, Bookwhere
    >etc. - see web site for more details.
    >
    >Within KCL, no password is required. Access from outside is possible
    >with your ATHENS username and password.
    >
    >During October, 'ZETOC Alerting' will become available -

    >many journals as you wish. These will be sent on the day the new data
    >are loaded into the database, which can be just 72 hours after
    >publication.
