SUNCAT links to journals' tables of contents

SUNCAT will shortly be introducing links to journals' table of contents (TOCs) using information provided by the TOC service, Zetoc. This development results from work conducted on the Discovery to Delivery project by EDINA and Mimas.

The TOC links will appear on the SUNCAT search result screen and at the top of the full record display. Each link will lead to the most recent issue of the appropriate journal title. Initially there will be TOC links from around 20,000 journal titles, plus conference proceedings on SUNCAT, but this number will expand as new titles are added to Zetoc.

This is an important development for SUNCAT which will instantly give users more information about journals they find on the catalogue. Article details from TOCs will assist users in distinguishing journals of interest, before investigating access options, through the holdings information of the 70 libraries available on SUNCAT.
