Access Notes: In addition to searching the database, ZETOC allows you to set up an individualised Table of Contents alerting service. Select up to 50 individual journal titles and you will be notified via e-mail of the contents of new issues as they become available.
Basic keyword searches can also be saved in order to be alerted to new articles on particular topics.
A document delivery service is available. This allows you to order articles for delivery direct to your mailing address. You will be responsible for payment and will be required to submit personal details, including your credit card number, over the web.
Please note that this is a much more expensive service than the Library's Interlibrary Loan service
To use the Alert services both on- and off-campus, this resource requires a login.
