discipline-specific journals on teaching

many journal publishers and journal databases provide table-of-contents alert services by which you can sign up to receive emails listing the tables of contents of new issues of selected journals as they are published. using such services with teaching journals in your field is an efficient way of keeping up with teaching issues in your discipline.
