RSS Feeds: Science Direct

Science Direct now has RSS feeds!! I think that's the last of the big science publishers.

About the feeds:

• The article feeds will show up on the journal homepage as well as any browsable list of titles--but they did not show up until my proxy authentication kicked in.
• You don't right-click-to-copy the links in the icon. Instead, left-click to bring up a popup that will give you the RSS feed URL and several auto-subscribe buttons (Bloglines, My Yahoo, etc.)
• They also have feeds for cited reference, topic and search alerts. The topic and search alerts require a Science Direct username and password.

Ulrichweb Now Identifies Journals with RSS Feeds

A colleague forwarded me the email from Ulrich's announcing that they now include RSS availability in their journal records. You can also use the Advanced Search and select "RSS Available" as a criterion when searching for journal titles. I just did a subject search for mathematics and got 100 journals with RSS feeds (directly from the publisher, from Ingenta, or both).

My only quibble is that a few publishers aren't yet included (RSC and Wiley), but I'm delighted that Ulrich's has decided to do this.
