Once you've located a set of title lists, it's valuable to figure out how the provider will update these lists and how often.

Step 1: Determine update frequency

• Determine how frequently the provider makes updates to their title lists available.
• Sometimes the provider will make this information available on the site where they post their lists.
• It's possible you may need to determine update frequency by monitoring a provider's lists over time.
• If you are in touch with a provider contact, you can ask them.

Step 2: Determine how the provider makes updates available

• Determine whether the provider updates by posting new complete lists, posting updates only, or both.
• As above, you may need to figure out this information by trial and error or by asking.

Step 3: Determine if the vendor provides an update feed

• Some providers post updates as they occur using a web site, RSS feed, e-mail list or other method. (Example)
• Search the provider's site to see if you can locate an update feed.
• If you are responsible for a provider or subset of a provider's packages, you may want to sign up for these updates.
