Stay Alert! Keeping Your Social Science Research Up-to-date
Tired of spending your time surfing the web for current research in your social sciences discipline? Feeling a bit overwhelmed with the amount of new scholarly literature created in your field? During this hands-on workshop, well talk about email alerting services and RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds, and how these tools can help you keep up-to-date in the social sciences. Using selected library resources, such as the library catalog and library databases along the lines of PsycINFO and Sociological Abstracts, well demonstrate some strategies for collecting wide-ranging scholarly information into your email inbox and into an RSS feed reader.
