Five months later, noted reference reviewer, Peter Jacso. He called ticTOCs a "splendid state of the art version of a traditional current awareness service."

+ The service currently contains TOC's from more that 14,000 journals from nearly 550 publications.
The current Tables of Contents containing over 360,000 articles can be searched. The 14,000 journal titles can also be searched or browsed (by subject or publisher). Click on a journal title and the latest Table of Contents will be displayed, with links to the full text (where institutional or personal subscriptions allow, or where the journal is available on Open Access).
