Email TOCs - popularity
Publisher A – 1,000 journals– 158,490 subscribers to email TOC alerts– 1,622,466 TOC alerts set up
Aggregator B – 15,910 alerts containing 173,224 TOCs
Email TOCs – require effort
Your ZETOC Alert list called dff4qj belonging to the Athens username hwulibram is due to expire on Wed 21 Jun 2006.
“Some users reported that the alerts they themselves had set ‘haunted them’. I have exactly the same feeling, as sometimes it feels like the alerts I have set for myself are self-inflicted spam”

Enable academics and researchers, without having to understand the technical or procedural concepts involved in the process, find, access, search within, be alerted to, aggregate, personalise, export and re-use journal TOCs.
Facilitate the re-use of TOC content by individuals and subject-based services, library services, VLEs, etc, to help showcase research output, and deliver relevant content to researchers.
Enable library and information services (e.g. from journal lists), commercial and open access journal publishers, gateways, content aggregators and journal directories to allow their users to embed journal TOCs, with one click, into ticTOCs.
Encourage the production of standardised journal TOC RSS feeds, and thereby facilitate their interoperability.

Use ticTOCs logs to develop Personal Interest Profiles (PIPs)
Create silos of RSS content (New content from Institutional Repositories, Calls for Papers, Funding Calls, Patents, Components, Press releases, Industry news, dissertations, etc.)
Use data mining techniques to match PIPs with content
