2. Search JournalTOC (tables of contents)- This site enables multiple journal TOCs to be uploaded to an RSS reader as a group.
3. Search Google for the journal - Most journal websites let you set up an RSS TOC or topic search.
4. Go to publisher sites. In addition to journal TOCs, some publishers let you set up a topic search across all their journals.

Google Chrome Extension is a simple way to add an RSS reader to your computer.
In addition to the web-based and desktop based readers, some web browsers have incorporated RSS as a plugin. For instance, the Firefox browser allows you to incorporate RSS feeds right into live bookmarks. So rather than having to open your RSS reader, you can view your RSS feeds right from your bookmarks.
If a web page does not offer an RSS feed itself, you can use Page2RSS to set one up for you.
