Managing References FAQ's

Can I create an RSS feed out of a RefWorks folder?

No, you can't create an RSS feed from information you'd added to RefWorks, however you can use RefWorks as a feed reader.

An RSS Feed is a URL that provides automatic notification of frequently updated information. To read the RSS, you need a feed reader. RefWorks includes this feature, and you can add specific Bobst Library E-Journal table of contents as feeds, so you can get up to date information on articles recently published. When you subscribe to the RSS Feed of a journal, any new articles that appear can be automatically added to your RefWorks Library.

  1. To find the RSS Feed URL, go to the homepage of a journal and see if they have an RSS subscription service, or use Ulrich's Periodical Database to find journals in your field that include RSS. (find articles via databases>databases by title>Ulrich's>connect)
  2. Copy the URL that appears in your browser's location bar
  3. Open RefWorks and under Search , select RSS Feed
  4. Paste the Journal feed URL in the RSS Feed URL box
  5. Every time a new issue is published, updated citations will automatically be added to your feed.
  6. To view your feeds, from the Search menu, select RSS Feed and click on any feed link.
