Keeping current is essential for both patrons and librarians in the health sciences. We receive electronic and photocopied tables of contents. We subscribe to relevant mailing lists, newspapers and magazines. We review Web sites, books and journals. Our desks are littered with current awareness items that more often get old than read. RSS or "Really Simple Syndication' is a means of organizing and simplifying current awareness efforts. Using RSS feeds from a variety of sources along with aggregator software, librarians can keep up-to-date without the clutter. This article will provide a starting point from which to take advantage of RSS and continue the process of active learning.
对于健康科学领域的读者和图书馆员来说，紧跟最新资讯至关重要。我们会收到电子和复印的目录。我们订阅相关的邮件列表、报纸和杂志。我们浏览网站、书籍和期刊。我们的办公桌上堆满了最新资讯资料，这些资料往往还没来得及看就过时了。RSS 或“简易信息聚合”是一种组织和简化获取最新资讯工作的方式。通过使用来自各种来源的 RSS 提要以及聚合软件，图书馆员可以在不被大量信息干扰的情况下了解最新情况。本文将提供一个利用 RSS 的起点，并继续积极学习的过程。
