STAYING ON TOP OF THE LITERATURE: CUSTOMIZING
AUTO ALERTS AND RSS FEEDSJon Goodell
UAMS Library
How Do You Stay Current?
Different needs for Teaching Research Service Programs
Jon Goodell, Library Liaison to COPH Faculty, Staff, and Students
Information Overload
Too much information; too little time to evaluate and process
Multi-tasking and interruptions; e.g., multiple lit. searches at a time and “oh that’s an interesting article” moments
Solutions More precise search strategies, automated searches, batching similar work, low information diets
Jon Goodell, Library Liaison to COPH Faculty, Staff, and Students
Email Auto Alerts
Specify search strategy and results sent automatically via email
Examples include PubMed via My NCBI, Ebsco Alerts, Ovid Auto Alerts, Web of Science
Use regular email to read alerts

RSS Feeds
RSS = Really Simple Syndication Specify search strategy then automate
via one interface Examples include PubMed, Ebsco Alerts,
Ovid Auto Alerts, Web of Science May need to use alternate RSS feed
