	Keeping Up-to-Date
	Keeping up-to-date with the current literature and developments in a particular field can be challenging. There are a number of resources available to help including citation and publisher alerting services. In addition, RSS allows you to keep up-to-date on websites of interest.



	Table of Contents Alerts		Subject & Author Alerts		RSS & Web 2.0



	Table of Contents Alerts Individual publishers often offer Table of Content alert services that send an email when the new issues of a journal have been published. Use the Library catalog, ELLeN to locate journals we subscribe to. Many have links to publisher websites.



	Subject & Author Alerts Subject & Author-based alerting services allow you to save a search on a particular subject or author and have an email sent when new citations occur.

	RSS & Web 2.0 RSS is a way to consolidate the latest information on websites into one place, called a reader. Instead of going to all of your favorites websites, journals and blogs individually, you can subscribe to that site's rss feed and it will automatically load the latest headlines into your chosen feed reader. Common readers are Bloglines and Google Reader. Web 2.0 is a trend of web-based resources to become more interactive, personal and collaborative. Think blogs, wikis and social-networking sites. The Science Network - videos of various science meetings and symposia. SciVee- created by Phil Bourne of UCSD, SciVee is a "YouTube for scientists". Researchers post 10-minute videos explaining the results from their published papers. OpenWetWare, an open-source wiki created by MIT that inlcudes protocols, blogs, courses and hosts lab groups from around the world.
