A handy way of keeping up-to-date in your field of research is to use RSS feeds. RSS (short for Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication) is a format that allows for the syndication, or sharing, of Web content. Its use enables you to aggregate and rapidly scan information gathered from blogs, databases, news, current event Web sites and other Web sites that update content frequently.
Josh Clark, one of the Liaison Librarians in the College of Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, has created an RSS tutorial which shows the basic steps to creating an account with a Web-based RSS feed reader, and how to subscribe to a sample RSS feed.
Links to further information are included at the end of the presentation.
The RSS tutorial is linked from the researchers' page:
