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/> Roy > 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. > > > > Terry Bucknell > Electronic Resources Manager > Sydney Jones Library > University of Liverpool > Chatham St, PO Box 123 > Liverpool, L69 3DA, UK > Tel: +44 (0)151 794 2692 > Fax: +44 (0)151 794 2681 > --
