Enhance your current awareness services with RSS Feeds
Abstract
Avoid cluttered email and unread alerts by moving to a state-of-the-art current awareness service you and your patrons can actively contribute to. RSS feeds on our products give users the capability of viewing search results and accessing records on any computer via their institutional accounts. Setting up an RSS feed is a simple copy and paste action, taking the URL linked to the search and pasting it into an aggregator. Feeds are automatically updated each time the product databases update and matched results are found.
In this session you will learn how to:
1. Search, refine and create RSS feeds on Scopus, ScienceDirect and Engineering Village.
2. Use the latest and most innovative RSS aggregators to create a collaborative current awareness platform.
3. Organize and share feeds in a few simple steps.
Sign up for the TrainingDesk Newsletter and look out for future topics including Web 2.0 tools, knowledge discovery, linking, and effective searching.
