RSS -- PubMed search vs Journal Table of Contents

The value of keeping up to date by using a PubMed search via RSS instead of a feed of a journal's table of contents:

• the table of contents is not personalized to the needs of the clinician.
• RSS feeds from PubMed can be used to guide the clinician straight to any available full text of the journal if the search is set up to access the library’s PubMed LinkOuts.
• an RSS reading service like Google Reader allows the user to organize feeds by subject and to star especially interesting items.
