ScanDoc is a current awareness and document delivery service provided by the University of Toronto Library to faculty. ScanDoc is based on Current Contents which is available as CCWeek and CCBack on the UTLink menu.
Citations are e-mailed to subscribers weekly.
The Library has provided the ScanDoc service since 1990. There are presently 400 users from various faculties and departments at the University. The Current Awareness Part A subscriber sends a list of keywords for a research topic plus other search criteria, and their e-mail address. The Library sets up a search profile which afterwards runs automatically every time a new issue of CCWeek is loaded onto the Library system. Citations or search results are then e-mailed to each subscriber automatically.
