Table of Contents Alerts
Table of Contents (TOC) Alerts will notify you via email when new issues of journals of your choice are published. The instructions below include the step-by-step process for setting up a TOC alert. Instructions are listed alphabetically according to the journal publisher or the vendor that supplies the journal to the library. If you are unsure of the publisher of a journal try searching the journal’s website or call the Information Desk (970-491-1841).
