Future of MyContents service?
Q: I’ve heard that the MyContents service is going to change and/or go away in the future. What’s really going to happen?
A: The MyContents Table-of-Contents (TOC) service [which provides customized, emailed copies of the TOCs of newly published journal issues], has indeed be phased out as of June 30, 2009. A variety of alternative services are available for those who still want to be kept abreast of current journal issues, however. They can be found at the Current Awareness page of the CU Libraries: http://www.library.cornell.edu/resrch/current. On that page are Current Awareness services for both tables of contents as well as new books. A number of these services can interface directly with Web 2.0 and social networking sites so that you can get information about new issues or books that way.
