Alerts: Keeping Current in Your Discipline
Alerts refer to notifications when something of interest to you has been published in a new journal issue or added to a database or website. Covers basic techniques for setting up alerts (a.k.a. current awareness services).
How to Add Your Reader
Once you have a news reader set up - simply look for the little orange rectangular button on your favorite web page, journal, or newspaper. Sites will often advertise their RSS feed with a button that says "XML" or "RSS."
Most news readers allow you to subscribe by copying the link from your browser and pasting it into the news reader. Some news readers automatically detect the feed when you click on the link, making subscribing even easier! If in doubt, read your news reader's help guide on how to subscribe to news feeds.
