If you have a favorite journal that you want to see as soon as a new issue comes out, you probably can have its table of contents emailed to you, even if you aren't a subscriber. This service is standard for the major publishers and are available for many smaller publishers too.
The publishers want to get as much traffic to their articles as they can, so they usually allow tables of contents to be sent regardless of whether you or Morris Library subscribes to the journal.
Typically the email will have a list of articles in the latest issue with a hyperlink to the journal's site for the abstract and article. Many also can send the alerts as RSS feeds instead of email messages.
For some of the major publishers, the links to set up alerts can currently be found on the following locations:
Elsevier ScienceDirect: Alert me to new Volumes / Issues near the top center of the page;
IEEE Xplore: on the "Alerts" link in the top banner on the right;
Springer (SpringerLink): In the toolbar on the left at the "Alerts" link under My Menu;
Wiley InterScience: on the Web page for an individual journal, on the Set E-Mail Alert link next to the image of the cover of the journal.
