Automated Updates of Journal Article Titles and Database Search Results for the Health Sciences
Description: Staying current with developments in the health sciences is important for both research endeavors and academic assignments. This introductory workshop describes two technology-based techniques, RSS and search alerts, to automate portions of this process. These techniques can be used to monitor research journal tables of contents, updates from specific database searches, and science research news. The technology is accessible and free to all VCU-affiliated users. This workshop will demonstrate applications of RSS and search alerts for selected health science resources, and illustrate setup methods.
