3. Write a blog post telling the group what your experience with this week's exercise was like. For example, how do you think RSS features might impact the Libraries' current awareness and tables of contents services in the future?
Both the PubMed feed and the journal feed seem useful. (Disclaimer: as always, please consult your local expert searcher for more efficient results on PubMed. Results may vary.) Unfortunately, I didn't see an RSS feed for the EBSCO business journals. I can, and did, test it with other journals, but I like to have these exercises apply directly to me. That way, my opinions are based less in the hypothetical. But, if I were someone who had an professional-level interest in a specific medical subject for a PubMed search or medical journal, this would be slick for me.
Larry, in his blog, mentioned using building something like this for the library. What could be great with that would be the ability to check off and automatically request scans of articles. Of course, that's only if the patron and library didn't own a subscription to the online.
And have a good day.

You can set up an RSS feed for journals in EBSCO's Business Source Premier. Here's what you need to do:
1. I think you need to have an account, so the first step is to create one.
2. Go to Publications in Business Source Premier.
3. Search for your journal title.
4. When you find it in the list, click on the title.
5. Click on Journal Alert in the top right corner.
6. Choose the option "no email, RSS only"
7. Click on Save. It will then give you a link to the RSS feed.
