For those who prefer to have alerts of search results or Table of Contents for specific journals sent to you by email, many database providers feature such a service.

The basic steps are:- - registering with the database as an user - doing a search on your topic OR - a journal title search for Table of Contents (ToC) - save as an email alert - stipulate the frequency (daily, weekly or monthly) - and the format (HTML or Text)

Then simply await for the alerts to be delivered to your email account.

For example, Web of Knowledge steps are available at: http://www.library.uq.edu.au/bio/useits/wok/wok_alert.html
