Peace Palace Library RSS Feeds

The Peace Palace Library has expanded its offerings of RSS feeds:

- If you would like to be kept up to date about new additions to the library's collection, you can subscribe to keyword feeds (e.g., Refugees and displaced persons, Human trafficking, Humanitarian assistance, etc.). Any time a record for a new journal article, book chapter, report or book that includes one of your keywords is added to the catalogue, your feed will be updated.

- You can also subscribe to a journal feed to be alerted when a new issue of a journal is received by the library.

- If you prefer to be notified of new tables of contents for individual journals that you specify, you can do so from the journal TOC page.

- You can even conduct a search across journal articles and then create a custom RSS feed for those results. Choices include searching on the journal title, the article title or the author.

Monitoring New Additions to Library Collections

Libraries keep researchers informed of new additions to their collections either through accessions (or new acquisitions) lists or through "new titles" features in their library catalogues. This post lists several resources to help keep track of new books.

1. Accessions Lists (all the ones listed below can also be e-mailed to you upon request)

• British Library for Development Studies (BLDS) offers BLDS Updates every 2-4 weeks; see especially the one for "conflict, disasters, refugees."
• Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) Documentation Centre provides new acquisitions lists.
• Refugee Studies Centre Library compiles a quarterly list.
• UEL Refugee Council Archive puts together a bi-monthly list.
• UNHCR Library produces its Library Highlights list 3-4 times per year.
