Electronic Tables of Contents (ETOCs)

E-tocs are e-mail alerts listing the contents of new issues of most journals.
The Alert will let you know whether the fulltext of the articles in a specific journal is available electronically through your Athens usernames and passwords, in print in either Trust library, or we can order articles for you for which there may be a charge.
Just tell us which journals you’re interested in. E-mail your request list to library.enquiries@bcf.nhs.uk
Please Note: There are copyright restrictions as to how many articles you can print or download from any particular journal issues. Please send any queries to Library staff.
