Feed your mind: Zetoc sends you useful journal articles

Have you come across "current awareness" services? In academia, there's a great service called Zetoc, which alerts you to useful articles on your chosen topic(s).

• Zetoc http://zetoc.mimas.ac.uk/

The 'toc' stands for 'Table of Contents'. With Zetoc, you select which journals and keywords you want to be alerted to.  It's good for keeping up to date, and alerting you to things you might not otherwise have come across.

Until recently, there was another similar service called TicTocs.  This has now ceased, so if you used to use it, you might consider transferring to Zetoc now.

Folk music, meteorology and blogging (the delights of Whittaker's inbox!)

So pretty that we had to share it with you!

• Warwick Folk Festival - 26th - 29th July.  More details ...
• Zetoc alerts: don't forget you can set up Zetoc to tell you when articles are published in your field.  Set up an alert here, or ask your subject librarian to help you set one up.  Mind you, sometimes you get wee surprises.  Like the one 'Whittaker' received today:-
  Scottish weather in Mendelssohn's music
  Kay, A, in WEATHER - LONDON (published by the Royal Meteorological Society), Vol.67, no.3 (2012) pp.83-83
      
• 'Blogging is quite simply the most important thing academics should be doing right now'. So said two social scientists at the London School of Economics.  Controversial - do you agree?
