Receiving content from BioMed Central as an RSS headline feed
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a well-established
web standard for the delivery of news headlines and other frequently updated
content summaries.
There are many different news
headline readers to choose from which will regularly retrieve the
latest items from your favorite RSS-enabled sites and display them on
your desktop:
Examples of news reading software include:
 There
are also several web sites such as NewsIsFree, Bloglines
which allow you to create a personalized web home page incorporating
your choice of news feeds. Google allows you to incorporate RSS feeds
onto a personalized homepage (see
right), and also offers a more sophisticated web based tool (Google
Reader) for viewing RSS feeds. It is even
possible to download RSS feeds to an iPod using software such as iPod
Agent.
In addition, if you run your own website, you can write
code to take the latest information from BioMed Central's RSS feeds and
display it on your own site.
RSS feeds for BioMed Central journal articles
For any BioMed Central journal, you can access the RSS
feed of the latest articles just by adding /rss/ onto the journal
URL.

Or use the
button that appears on the journal home page - in many cases you can
