Emailed Table-of-Contents Service (eTOCs)

Guest Post by Elissa Kinzelman-Vesely, Ascension WI Librarian

What, you ask, are eTOCs?  It is the Ascension Wisconsin Libraries’ Emailed Table of Contents Service.  As hospital librarians, we understand that you’re busy with patient care; keeping up with the current literature in your field is difficult, time consuming, and possibly expensive.  We’ve developed a way of delivering table of contents from your favorite professional journals to your email box.  eTOCs are free, easy, and convenient!

1.  Look for eTOC sign-up sheets at the Ascension Wisconsin Libraries LibGuides.  
2. Select either the Clin eTOC, Med eTOC, or Lead eTOC form.
3. Review the journal titles available for eTOC service.
4. Select the journal titles for which you’d like to receive current table of contents.  Mark your selections on the form.
5. Return the form to your Ascension Wisconsin Librarian in person, via email, or by fax.
6. As new issues of the journals you selected are released, you will receive a link to the table of contents in your Ascension email box.
7. Click on the link to view the full table of contents, and click on the articles you would like to read.
