TechJournalContents is a new free service which enable a user to
“search across the current issues of more than 4,500 scholarly
technology journals from multiple publishers” … to find the most
research articles of a wide range of scientific, technical, and social
science disciplines.

Approximately 400 of the journals searched by TechJournalContents are
freely available on Open Access ; access to the full text of search
results from other journals will depend on the status of a current
institutional or personal subscription. Users can save
TechJournalContents searches as an RSS feed that provide notifications
of matching results using a feedreader (e.g., Google Reader or
Bloglines).

Springer, Emerald, Inderscience, Wiley Interscience, Elsevier, Taylor
& Francis, IEEE, Sage, AIP, and IMechE, are among the publishers whose
technology-related journals are indexed by TechJournalContents.

The core behind the service is the journalTOCs produced by the
journalTOCs Project, based at the ICBL, Heriot-Watt University, and is
being managed by Santy Chumbe ; a project blog, journalTOCsAPI, is
available [ http://www.journaltocs.hw.ac.uk/API/blog/]

news, job announcements, technical reports, technical data, full text
