A far cleverer library technologist than I is working on a way to use RSS to syndicate tables of contents from journals. You would pick the journals you're interested in, and a feed listing the recent articles would appear in your newsreader. Egads! Holy no-more-reading-current-journals-in-paper, batman! Even better, it could work with our web-bridge product so that you could click on a link in the feed and be taken directly to the full-text of the article in one of our databases.
A demo is here:

The project is currently in beta mode, but I'm keeping a close eye on it...what do you think? Are you interested in this service?
