What do you get when you combine RSS technology with the Table of Contents of scholarly journals? An efficient way to keep up to date, share and re-use information - as long as the feed is designed properly. Lisa Rogers shares her experiences with the ticTOCs project and provides a roadmap for success.

What's Inside:

Subscribing to a feed enables someone to not only read the latest TOC, but also to share and re-use the information by publishing it to their blog or adding it as a widget to their website. In theory, therefore, anyone can keep fully up-to-date with all the scholarly journals they want. However, as I have found from my work on the ticTOCs project, it isn't always that easy.
