Current awareness is a way of keeping up to date with things happening in your discipline within the last 30-90 days. This can mean anything from reading the most recently published information or developments in your field to following blogs that encourage discussion with your peers.
This information can be found in many ways depending on your field. Here are a few examples:
- Journals
- Newspapers
- Organizational websites (e.g. AMA, NAMI, NIH)
- Social Media (blogs, Facebook, Twitter, wikis)
