Current awareness made easy?

Now this is really something! 
Jean Thomas from NMMU alerted me to this service available at JournalTOCS.  This site freely allows one to set up TOC alerts to selected journals but see this link for what else is on offer (admittedly at a price - but not too expensive for an institution?).  A trial period is available.

"Armed only with a list of some of your users’ email addresses and a list of the particular scholarly journals they are interested in (ones your organisation subscribes to, ones you don’t subscribe to, Open Access journals, hybrid journals to which you do, or don’t subscribe – it doesn’t matter which – it’s up to them, and they can choose to limit as they wish), you can act as a super-admin-user and set up a personalised web and email based scholarly journal Tables of Contents alerting service for them, with ease!"
