Terry,
I appreciate you making this data available. FWIW (and that wouldn't be
much) I integrated your RSS data with my somewhat stale data of
peer-reviewed journals at
<http://roytennant.com/proto/peer/>

> As you may know, ticTOCs is a project funded by JISC in the UK to create a
> single, freely available source of RSS feeds for tables of contents - see
> http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/ . Our database now contains over 12,000 journals
> from over 430 publishers. Up until now the only way to get feeds out of
> ticTOCs has been to use our web interface to search for feeds and then export
> them as an OPML file, or one at a time to a feed reader of your choice.
>
> We are working on creating APIs to let groups like the code4lib community
> extract our data in more flexible ways, but it has been pointed out to us -
> see
> http://robotlibrarian.billdueber.com/tictocs-give-us-a-file-pretty-pretty-pret
> ty-please/ - that all you really need (at least at first) is a simple
> tab-delimited file that contains titles, ISSNs, and feed URIs for all of the
> journals in tocTOCs. We now provide precisely this at
> http://www.tictocs.ac.uk/text.php.
>
> We hope that you will use this data to populate your catalog, A-Z journals
> list or whatever with RSS feed icons/links, or embedded TOCs. We look forward
> to the day when SFX, SerialsSolutions and the like are all using our data!
>
> Although the project phase of ticTOCs is very nearly at end end, we are
> confident that we are very close to ensuring that the future of ticTOCs is
> assured for at least the next three years, and will continue to be free.
>
>
> Share and enjoy.
