| Customizing your feeds | |||
FindArticles.com (from looksmart)- do a search using the available search window. When the results are displayed look for the  icon near the top of the page to capture the feed. Note: this engine searches a number of journals and newspapers but I have heard that the citations are not always accurate when you wish to find the article. | |||

HubMed (customize a feed from PubMed!) - this is a nifty tool which allows you to create a PubMed search and run it in HubMed. The results from HubMed can then be sent to your RSS aggregator as an RSS feed. You can use free text, boolean and / or MeSH headings in your search of HubMed, just as you would with PubMed. The creator of HubMed Alf Eaton has also created a bookmarklet for Firefox browser users of the University of Manitoba. When in HubMed, click on the bookmarklet then click the SFX link for the article you are interested in and it will display the UM Links information. UM Links provides access to the online and paper journals of the University of Manitoba. Instructions from Alf "If you look at the second paragraph of this entry: To use the bookmarklet, drag the link to the bookmarks toolbar in your browser. Then, go to a HubMed page like this one: | |||
| Recommendations | |
| Why are these feeds recommended? | |
| A large number of these news feeds obtain information from a number of standard sources. This can cause some overlap in the news items you recieve. The recommended feeds have enough unique content in them to give you a sense of what is going on in health and medicine news. | |
| Why are none of the journal feeds recommended? | |
| None of the journals are recommended because each individual person has a unique subject area that they are interested in. Therefore, it is better for the individual to subscribe to those journal feeds which interest them the most. | |

Most news aggregating software has the ability to import lists of feeds from something called an OPML file. The Health Sciences Libraries has created this file for you to download and import. It lists most of the Health Sciences RSS feeds on this page. The exceptions are the journal feeds which are too numerous to collect all together in one location and the listings of multiple RSS feeds. Download this file HealthSubscriptions.xml and import it into your aggregator to quickly connect to the latest in health news. Bloglines users can follow these instructions:
