RSS Feeds from EBSCO

Page history last edited by Kate 2 yrs ago

 EBSCO has a feature which allows you to create a feed from your search!

(Thanks to David Free for sharing this hint at the Gil Users Group Meeting).

Select one of the EBSCO Databases- I'm using Academic Search Premier

-Select Advanced Search

-Do a search

-Select Search History/Alerts

-Select Save Search/Alert

-Give your search a name and description

Continue filling in the form....

When you get to the end - see the radio buttons?

No E-mail, RSS only!

Save your alert- here's where you get the URL to copy and then paste into your reader....At the bottom of the form is the Syndicated Feed URL!

Which you then copy and paste into your RSS reader.

Wonderful and almost as easy as getting an e-mail alert.
