What is RSS and Why Should I Care?
RSS can save you time and hassle by letting you keep current with your professional reading conveniently and easily.
Imagine a Table of Contents service where you can quickly scan the contents of any number of the latest journals at your convenience and with no nagging e-mail clutter. When you come across an article you'd like to read, full-text is available at your fingertips. Updates on literature searches and news can be automatically sent to your reader for you to peruse at your leisure.
Getting started with RSS is easier than you might think, and is likely to become an indispensable tool for keeping you current and saving you time.
For assistance in getting started with RSS, contact your Library Liaison or Ask a Librarian.

Where do I get a Reader?
There are a wide variety of RSS readers to choose from, from stand-alone desktop applications to web-based applications to built-in browser and email-based solution. A large selection of RSS readers can be found at RSS Compendium - NewsReaders.
Google Reader Videos
Here are some of our favorites:
Google Reader is a very powerful browser-based feed reader that offers the additional advantage of integration with other Google applications and services, such as Google Personalized.
Bloglines is one of the most popular and widely known of the web-based readers.
Thunderbird Email client has built-in RSS support. Each new feed item is received much like an email message.

How Do I Find RSS Feeds?
Browser Autodiscovery
There are browser add-ons that can alert you when you're on a site that offers a feed and allow you to subscribe via your choice of reader. Recent releases of Internet Explorer and Firefox both offer built-in automatic subscription options that appear if you click on a feed link.
Feed Images
If you see this icon
in your address window after the site url, or in a web page, that indicates the site offers a feed. ![]()
are also commonly used to indicate a feed link. Here's a few more you may see.
Finding Journal Table of Contents Feeds
Increasingly,vendors and publishers are providing feeds for their titles, but they are far from universally available and aren't always easy to find.
RSS for Journals
Individual Feeds
We've collected feeds for over 1900 health sciences journals. If you've got a particular journal title your'e looking for, try our comprehensive alphabetical list of feeds. If you want to see what's available on a particular topic, try our feed listing by subject.
Feed Bundles (OPML)
While you can always subscribe to feeds one by one, now you have the option to subscribe to groups of feeds (everything in a category or top picks by journal impact factor) simply by downloading and importing a small file into your feed reader. You'll find these OPML files in our listing of feeds by subject.
Finding Health News Feeds
There are a great many sites that list news (and blog) feeds by topic. We recommend:
• Medworm
• RSS for Medics
• Medscape Headlines
If you are looking for a feed for a particular resource or topic, simply searching Google using the name of the resource or topic of interest and "RSS" or "Feed" may lead you directly to what you are looking for.
