I read on another blog that Gale Group (an information vendor) offers RSS feeds. We already know that Ebsco provides RSS feeds as well as e-mail alerts.
Through GALILEO we have access to Informe which is a Gale product. Yes, you can create an RSS feed easily - you can even create an e-mail alert and an RSS feed from the same form page. That is convenient.
Informe is described by GALILEO as "a database of 46 full-text, Spanish-language and bilingual magazines. It includes popular publications such as Actual, Latina, and ¡Siempre! as well as the full text of El Nuevo Herald, a Spanish-language newspaper from Miami, Florida, as well as the Spanish editions for Newsweek, Time, People, and PC Magazine. This database covers topics such as lifestyle, cultural and entertainment issues; health, family, and parenting; as well as current events and politics."
Informe has two interfaces, one in English and one in Spanish.
The articles are in the language they were originally published. The Spanish interface will pull up articles written in English and the English interface will pull up articles in Spanish. You can practice your language skills with the different interfaces.
You may get the current password to access GALILEO from your Georgia librarian.
