No reflection on the excellent work of the SUNCAT team but I assume this would be all well and good if Zetoc were actually working right now!

Subject: [LIS-E-RESOURCES] SUNCAT Links to Journals' Tables of Contents
**Apologies for cross posting**
SUNCAT: Serials Union CATalogue for the UK research community,
http://www.suncat.ac.uk
Good morning
SUNCAT has just introduced links to journals' tables of contents (ToCs) using
information provided by the ToCs service, Zetoc. This development results from
work conducted on the Discovery to Delivery project
(http://edina.ac.uk/projects/d2d/) by EDINA and Mimas.
The ToCs links appear on the SUNCAT search result screen and at the top of the
full record display. Each link leads to the most recent issue of the appropriate
journal title. Currently there are ToCs links from around 20,000 journal titles,
plus conference proceedings on SUNCAT, but this number will expand as new titles
are added to Zetoc. A list of journal ToCs available via Zetoc can be found at
http://zetoc.mimas.ac.uk/jnllist.html
This is an important development for SUNCAT instantly providing users with more
information about journals they find on the catalogue. Article details from ToCs
can assist users in distinguishing journals of interest, before establishing
their location via the holdings information of the 70 libraries available on
SUNCAT.
For further information about SUNCAT please see http://www.suncat.ac.uk,
