English abstract

Library professionals do not have sufficient time to conduct comprehensive online searches on regular basis to locate the latest information relevant to areas of specialty of their users. Despite an increasing availability of online content and a continuing need to have the latest information easily accessible, many special libraries are facing reduced resources, hours, and personnel for this service. The Library and Information Science professionals are forced to use some automated alert service about the recent e-resources added in the databases relevant to their users. RSS Feeds and e-Alerts can be used as a current awareness service tool in a library environment
