RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a useful way to keep up-to-date on news and current issues in your field. By subscribing to RSS feeds you can:
- Create search alerts in biomedical databases.
- Receive the table of contents (TOC) of current issues of medical journals.
- Be alerted to latest medical headlines, news and announcements from websites.
- Keep up with medical blogs and podcasts.
- Receive notices about clinical and research tools and resources from McGill libraries (HSL coming soon).
Your RSS feed subscriptions can be managed using an RSS reader such as Bloglines or Google Reader. RSS readers keep track of your feeds the way e-mail account keep track of your messages. Accounts are free to create and can be accessed from anywhere you have Internet.
Subscribe anywhere you see the RSS icon:
