LIBRARIAN AND MEDICAL RSS FEEDS

You can find over 1500 librarian RSS feeds at LibWorm (beta) and over 4000 “authoritative” medical feeds at MedWorm, which is divided into the following categories: publications directory, a blog directory, blog tag cloud, consumer health news, medical conditions, cancers, infectious diseases, therapies, and vaccines. MedWorm even has its own blog.

The “worms” gather updates from the RSS feeds and makes them searchable, so you can search by keywords and find actual posts. They were developed by Frankie Dolan, a Devon, UK-based IT engineer (married to a doctor), with input (especially for LibWorm from David Rothman [Community General Hospital of Greater Syracuse, New York, USA]. I’m sure neither list is exhaustive, but you’re sure to find something useful.
