2006 may be year of the RSS
Cindy Chick in her LawLibTech (blog) RSS tutorial says that "RSS allows you to receive notification of current content without having to visit the web site of interest to determine if it has been updated. This is powerful stuff, since it means that with the right tools you can monitor a large number of sites in a relatively short period of time."
For RSS feeds based on law journal content, see Current Law Journal Content (http://law.wlu.edu/library/CLJC/) , developed by John Doyle, law librarian at the Washington & Lee University School of Law Library. CLJC indexes articles from current law journals (2005 & newer) using RSS feeds. With this free service, you can view tables of contents for law j0urnal issues, keyword search article citations & abstracts, and link from an article citation to the full text in Lexis, Westlaw, BEPress, SSRN and other databases (passwords may be required). The law library has public access Westlaw available.
If you haven't already discovered RSS, it's about time that you give it a try.
