UnCover

UnCover is a database of tables of contents of over 14,000 journals, including ApJ, A&A, AJ, ApJS, MNRAS, Nature, PASP, and Science. In late 1993 it included more than 4,000,000 articles and over 1,000,000 articles are added annually. It can be accessed by telnet to pac.carl.org or database.carl.org and offers keyword searches for article titles or authors. Data ingest started in September 1988 and the first year of complete coverage is 1989. The contents pages of an individual journal issue can be viewed by volume and number, and further details can be obtained on individual articles. Copies of all retrieved articles can be ordered (by FAX only) for a charge indicated by the database. A telnet connection to pac.carl.org also allows one to access other library databases and browse the library catalogs of several North American libraries. Send inquiries to help@carl.org or database@carl.org.

The CARL UnCover article database now offers "Reveal" - a free e-mail table of contents service. Users can sign up to receive tables of contents from up to 100 journals delivered to their e-mail addresses. And at the December Internet World conference in Washington, DC, a CARL representative announced that UnCover will be offering a free SDI (alerting) service. Users will be able to track articles by keyword/name as they are published. The tables of contents of those articles that match will be delivered via e-mail.
