APS Provides Content Awareness Using Really Simple Syndication (RSS) Feeds (February 24, 2005)

The American Physical Society (APS) is now providing content awareness using Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds as a convenience to our readers. Journal feeds contain recently published articles in each journal and are updated as new articles are published. A list of all available feeds along with a FAQ can be found at http://feeds.aps.org/ or by following the RSS link on journal home and Scitation pages.

As the web matures, researchers, students, publishers and librarians are seeking new ways of disseminating and sharing information. Technologies such as RSS, blogs and wiki's are being experimented with and used for sharing and establishing communities.

We, along with the American Institute of Physics (AIP), are seeking ways to improve our offerings, to support the directions in which scientists are evolving their use of the web. This is a small step and there is the opportunity for future experiments. I would like to hear from any of the PAM members if there is activity, in the community that you serve, in the use of these technologies.
