Alert services and current awareness services:
News alerts delivered via email or RSS feed, to enable you to find news and new content speedily.Scholarly current awareness services
Current Contents is a current awareness service designed for the world academic community. Contact your local library or university library about access privileges, login details and passwords. The service helps you discover content from scholarly journals from March 1993 right up to the moment of publication, and is an indispensable part of research. Anyone who's a bona fide Australian student or staff member at an Australian university can use Current Contents.
For table of contents alerts from youth-related scholarly journals, go to the individual scholarly journals websites and sign up for their "toc alerts". E.g. for the table of contents alert for our journal, Youth Studies Australia, subscribe to our YSA TOC ALERT.
