RSS for Search Alerts: my.OAI

June 14th, 2004

Teri blogs: “Currently, there are only a few bibliographic databases that let you create RSS feeds, including the alternate PubMed platforms HubMed and my.PubMed. Another one is my.OAI, also from FS Consulting. If you have ever used OAIster, this one works the same way, searching 17 major Open Archive collections (vs. OAIster’s 301 collections of varying sizes). And like my.PubMed, each search in my.OAI generates an RSS feed that you can copy and paste into your reader.”

I have used HubMed for a while now and have been absolutely thrilled with the results. This is one of those tools that awes the crowds at some of my presentations, and rightfully so. I have never used MyPubmed nor My.OAI, but am very excited to hear about these services. I’ve created a log-in and have a few feeds going. We’ll see how the results turn out.
