Keeping up to date with your subject

Isn't it nice when something you want is brought to you, so that you don't have to go out yourself to fetch it?

If we apply that thought to research, it is possible to individually visit the websites of a wide range of journals - and to browse the printed copies the library holds - in order to try and keep up-to-date with your field. But it would be a monotonous job that could take up all your time if you want to monitor a lot of titles.
