TOLLAND, CT – March 15, 2004. Nerac, Inc., a leading information services company, is pleased to announce the launch of a sophisticated online search engine for TOC Journal Watch. Clients can quickly search Nerac's database of 21,000+ publications to locate their favorite journals. Delivering the table of contents for new journal issues, TOC Journal Watch provides a one-stop solution to monitoring multiple publications in all areas of science, technology and business.

TOC Journal Watch provides an easy solution to monitoring the world's top publications. Clients can use TOC Journal Watch to save valuable time and expensive subscription costs, keep an eye on industry developments and competitors, quickly scan for articles of interest before locating the full-text or review journals that otherwise would be out of reach. At the time of publication for a journal, clients receive an automatic report that provides the current issue's table of contents and information on the publication.

"TOC Journal Watch is an easy way to help researchers and business professionals stay on top of the latest publications in their industry. Because the online system is so easy to use, clients may uncover journals they didn't even know existed," said Kevin Bouley, Nerac President.

With coverage provided by the British Library, one of the world's leading resources for publications data, clients can search nearly 100 subcategories in the areas of Agriculture, Arts and Humanities, Biology and Biotechnology, Business and Management, Engineering, Industry, Language, Medical and Healthcare, Science and Social Science.

Now upgraded with a sophisticated search engine, TOC Journal Watch provides a new online system for fast and easy set-up. Subscription clients can directly access the online database of 21,000+ journals and several hundred conference proceedings through Nerac's customer-only Website. Advanced searching allows clients to easily target publications by journal title, subject area, alphabet, publisher or ISSN. Clients can select several journals under one TOC Journal Watch report or create separate reports. The database also provides links to the table of contents for the previous 20 published issues for each journal.

TOC Journal Watch results are delivered by email and to a client's Nerac.com account. Each report delivers information on the table of contents for new journal publications with the option to order the full-text article. Nerac also recently improved ways for clients to manage TOC Journal Watch reports. Through Nerac's customer-only Website, clients can organize results into folders, customize display features, delete multiple hits with checkboxes and email hits to their inbox.
