Amy,

There is a serial titled Current Contents which has a few different
subtitles to choose from.  The one we subscribed to was Current Contents:
 Physical, Chemical, and Earth Sciences.  This serial provides the table of
contents of the latest journal issues of over 900 journal titles.  It is
published weekly by the Institute for Scientific Information.  The ISSN is
0163-2574.  I hope this helps  :-)

CARL and other "Curent Contents" services provide the type of service
you're thinking of.

Amy:
  CURRENT CONTENTS offers tables of contents of journals.  We subscribe to
the online version via the web at:
http://www.ovid.com/
  Another one which will e-mail you the tables of contents from selected
periodicals is CARL UNCOVER (Colorado Alliance of Research
Libraries) at: http://uncweb.carl.org/
I use the telnet version to automatically e-mail me monthly tables of
contents of selected journals.

Subject:      and...AMY..Who, or what is an IGLOU.COM?

Eamon Fennessy got me curios by asking:

"and...AMY..Who, or what is an IGLOU.COM?"

So I typed IGLOU.COM into my web browser and found:

Welcome to Iglou Internet Services Inc. --
home of quality Internet access and services
for more than a decade. IgLou proudly serves
the Louisville, Lexington, Cincinnati, and
Nashville metropolitan areas. Please browse
our site and view all the quality services we
have to offer.

Presumably IGLOU is thinking of putting up TOC's - that would be
nice. I hope Eamon and friends can help out.

regards,
Bryn
