Faculty are sent a printed list of about 110 journal titles from which they select those journal titles they would like to receive on the service. There are 100 faculty on the TOC Service. Annually the faculty on the service are requested to update their list and either add or delete titles. Faculty then has the option of adding this new title to their profiles.
Staff also generate reports as needed.
The library does have a scanner. This project is currently operational, primarily as a manual system. The Wilson Dental Library plans to transfer their current manually operated TOC Faculty Awareness Service System to a web-based one. Another goal is to minimize the routine tasks that could very well be handled by a computer system but are currently administered by library staff. Additionally, the individual requests of faculty members will be tailored to with the use of unique profiles, which makes the task of managing a list of journals much more convenient.
