Library Databases With RSS Functions

The following databases employ RSS feeds in various ways. Some allow you to save a search and receive and RSS feed as new results are added to the database. Others allow you to receive and RSS notification every time a specific article is cited. Keep in mind that most of the resources in tigertags are only accessible to Princeton University affiliates.

Princeton Professor Peter R. Grant's name was listed three ways in Scopus, this query accounts for all three. The RSS feed below will display new articles that match this author search as they appear in Scopus.
