Pubmed offers the possiblity to save searches as RSS-feed. This opens a lot of new chances for libraries and users to improve alerting services.
Libraires working with the so-called OUTSIDE TOOL to make the library collection visible via for instance an SFX-button (Metalib) could point their users to the direction of this RSS-feed option, but ........
At this moment an integrated feed of PubMEd shows NO OUTSIDE tool within the short presentation of the feed WITHIN the FEEDREADER.
I asked PubMEd to implement this and this is their answer:

So it will not be there in the near future, but perhaps if more people ask for the functionality .....?
