RSS Feeds 

Look for these RSS symbols which indicate available RSS feeds.  Journal publishers, newspapers, blogs, and article databases frequently provide RSS feed capabilities to help you keep up with the latest news, tables of contents, or new citations added to databases search results.

RSS stands for really simple syndication.  An RSS (utilizing XML) feed allows you to pull updated information from a website or a library database without having to visit each time.   An RSS feed may contain new blog posts, updated news headlines from a newspaper, citations matching a search query in a library database, or anywhere you see the RSS icon: .  Steven M. Adams, Princeton University Libraries, has a nice analogy for RSS:  Tivo for the Internet.  What do you do with an RSS feed?  Most people read their feeds through a feed reader or aggregator.  Some of the most popular feed readers include:  BlogLines, Google Reader, NetVibes, NetNewsWire (Mac), and NewsGator.
