So I’ve recently discovered Google Reader; and it is amazing! I was sitting in my office making a list of the various journals I “should be” keeping up with. I got to the second journal and started thinking there’s got to be a better way…
And hells yes there is. So thanks to being a grad student and working at a University I have full access to their journal subscriptions. So basically I just plugged in the journal I wanted to know about, the library search engine pointed me to the database (ovid, bmc, wiley, etc.) and then each of the databases had a different way of linking to the RSS.
The REALLY great thing is that not only can I easily keep up on the latest publications from the journals listed here, but I can also use Ovid to RSS search results. So when, for example, you’re doing a systematic review that lasts a semester or a year or whatever, you can get continuous updates of new articles that fall under your search terms.
HOW COOL IS THAT?!??!?!?
So yea, pretty psyched that this is even a possibility…
