It can be very difficult keeping up to date with all the new academic literature that you may find relevant/interesting/useful. One useful tip here is to get an iGoogle account (it's very simple - see here) and then add a new tab for RSS journal feeds. After that, just go to journal home pages, copy the RSS feed address, and paste this info into the relevant RSS place in iGoogle - very simple.
This way you can keep up to date with all the journals you want to, rather than having 20 different e-mail alerts for the journals you're interested in - or however many it is. There's nothing more annoying than missing a paper that is exactly what you were looking for just because there is so much literature out there (okay, there are some things more annoying than this...). You can then check out all new articles that appear in one place and even share tabs with other iGoogle users. I've done a quick screentoaster screencast of this...

About me
- Alasdair Rae
- This blog featured data, maps and stories related to my research between 2008 and 2015. I've decided to move on to other things, but I'll leave all content as it is now in case anyone is interested. The focus was normally on things to do with cities, GIS and spatial data analysis. If you want to use any of the material on here just ask, as I'm generally okay with it.
