Leyburn Library subscribes to Project Muse, a database containing the complete texts of articles from over 300 scholarly journals in the social sciences, humanities, and arts. A list of the journals is here.
You now can receive automatic updates -- with complete online access to all articles -- whenever new issues of journals of your choosing are available. For example: Southern Cultures.
These updates are delivered by RSS feeds, which you can view in your own "RSS Reader," which saves all your chosen updates in a database, completely separate from e-mail.
An RSS reader also can used to receive automatic updates from various sections of the New York Times, some government agencies, and from lots of other Web sites.
Please let me know if you have questions or if you would like me to help you set up an RSS reader.
