What is RSS?
If you want to keep on top of the latest research publications but find that your email inbox is cluttered with non-essential mail, or you don’t have time to visit your favourite websites each day, RSS is a great alternative. RSS allows you to receive articles from your favourite sites as soon as the information is published. All you need to do is subscribe to the services you like. The most commonly used meaning of RSS is Really Simple Syndication. In other words, it is an easy way to distribute information.

What information can I get using RSS?
informaworld^TM offers two types of RSS feed:

Subject RSS: Subject RSS feeds send you notification of each new title published in a subject area.
Publication RSS: Publication RSS feeds send you notification of each new article in a journal or a reference work.

Many news sites, including the BBC and leading newspapers, offer RSS feeds for their news bulletins.

How do I get started with RSS?
First, you need an RSS reader. These are also known as news readers, feed readers, or aggregators. There are many that are freely available. Visit www.newsonfeeds.com/faq/aggregators for a listing of available readers.
When you've chosen a reader you feel suits your needs, open your reader. Depending on the reader you are using, select the option to create a new feed. Sometimes this is called a new subscription.

Subject RSS:

Go to informaworld^TM and Browse Subjects A-Z and find your research subject.
Next, select the RSS logo . A page of XML will display.
Copy the URL (the information in the address bar, something like http://www.informaworld.com/ampp/rss~db=all~content=t713662270).
Paste the URL into the field in your reader and submit your request for a new feed.

Publication RSS:

Go to informaworld^TM and locate your favourite journal, reference work or eBook series.
Select the RSS logo in the top right corner of the page. A page of XML will display.
Copy the URL (the information in the address bar, something like http://www.informaworld.com/ampp/rss~db=all~content=t713662270).
Paste the URL into the field in your reader and submit your request for a new feed.

If you use Firefox or Internet Explorer 7 as your web browser you can drag the RSS button to your browser toolbar to create a news feed.
