RSS feeds for oncologists

Medworm
http://www.medworm.com
  • good selection of feeds on cancer
  • well categorised
  • filter function similar to subheadings in Medline
  • 'Suggest a category' box if you can't find what you want
  • RSS explained for new users
  • can limit search to 'news', 'journals' etc.
  • UK based

Medscape Hematology-Oncology
http://www.medscape.com/hematology-oncology
  • good range of resources
  • need to register
  • reliability of information

NLH Directory
http://www.library.nhs.uk/rss/directory/

I've included this because, although there aren't yet very many feeds for oncologists, it gives very good instructions on RSS and it is very clearly set out. It is very much a 'work in progress', but looks very promising.

Hi Sarah,

I believe that this is a significant tool for updating the old fashioned SDI or current awareness. It means that the client, rather than the info provider, determines the totality of what gets received. Our role would henceforward be to advise, to alert to value added, evidence based sites.
