Searching for RSS feeds

Using current resources
If you have favourite websites, an RSS feed will let you receive the content without having to regularly visit the page. You may currently receive email updates - many of these have equivalent RSS feeds which allow you to receive the content from these sites in a less invasive way (that is, you choose when to check your feeds for new information).

Zetoc is a useful site for finding RSS feeds for journals. Go to http://zetoc.mimas.ac.uk/rssjnllist.html Type in the journal title, for example, Education. Follow the instructions on the screen to subscribe. See their http://zetoc.mimas.ac.uk/rss.html page for more information.

You may also find RSS feeds for journals on the publisher’s website, or from specific databases such as EBSCO (see ‘Setting up RSS feeds’).

Using search engines
In addition to finding RSS feeds in resources you already use, search engines that focus on websites that have RSS feeds within their content such as blogs, wikis and news pages are also useful.

Google Blog Search is a Google interface that searches specifically for blogs. For further information see About Google Blog Search.

Technorati is a search engine for blogs, photos, podcasts, videos and more.
