_Mega-Alerting Services_
I am greatly interested in identifying e-journals that offer
Alerting/SDI services that include *not only* the Table of Contents of the current issue (or personalized version of such) _but also_ a separate (or combined) Alerting/SDI service for other communication venues associated with the e-journal (e.g., electronic discussion lists, discussion forums, reader commentary, etc.) as they take place within or outside of the e-journal.
For examples of the various types of e-journal discourse, please see
my latest Web registry _EJI(sm)_ devoted to "Innovative E-Journal Features, Functionalities, and Content"
[ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/EJI.htm]
I am also interested in Any and All *subject/discipline* e-journal Alerting / SDI services, particularly those offered by any of the Aggregators, as well as those that one to receive Alerts from potentially all e-journals offered by a publisher or aggregator WITHOUT having to establish a interest profile within *individual* e-journals.
[NOTE: Other novel Alerting/SDI services are also of interest]
As Always, Any and All contributions. comments, queries, questions, critiques, cosmic insights, lengthy inaugural speeches, etc., etc., etc. are Most Welcome!
