Ingenta

Table of Contents Service (TOC)


Ingenta provides an efficient way of keeping up with new articles that have been published in magazines and journals in your field of interest. You decide on the periodical titles that you want in your personal "current awareness" profile. If the titles are available in the Ingenta service, the table of contents (TOC) will be sent directly to your email as each issue is published.

To sign up for the Ingenta service, please contact one of our Reference Librarians:

Carolyn Filippelli cfilippe@uafortsmith.edu
Martha Coleman   mcoleman@uafortsmith.edu

Please forward the Ingenta email to libloan@uafortsmith.edu with a message listing which article numbers to order. In LionsLink, you only need to forward the email to libloan. If the publication is available in our library or through a database, we will copy or print the article and send it to you. If we do not have access to the publication, we will order a photocopy of the article from another library and send it to you.

There is no charge for this service.


Note: You may order articles directly from Ingenta's commercial document delivery service using a personal credit card, however, the typical price per article is $30-$47. I'm sure you will agree, our Interlibrary Loan Service is a much better bargain.
