What is it?
What is it? RSS (Real Simple Syndication) lets you create a list of sources (searches from ProQuest and EBSCOhost, blogs, professional association websites, and more) and automatically retrieves updates and new postings., saving users considerable time and effort.

When searching for journal articles, you can set up a search in EBSCOhost or ProQuest to be sent to your RSS Feed and when new articles are published that meet your search terms you will be notified.
