I’m not sure how this one snuck by me, but it seems our catalogue now offers RSS feeds for saved searches! No more checking to see if anything is new, I can save the search and if any new material comes in that matches that search, I’ll get the results via RSS feed. Cool! More about this new feature here.

OPAC Update
I’m a bit behind the times. A short while ago we launched our Endeca-powered catalogue and I’ve been playing with it when I can. Check it out on our homepage! Amanda Etches-Johnson has a great post that sums up Endeca (better than I ever could. I’m still learning all of the ins and outs of this new interface). I think there’s a lot of potential with Endeca, however, I am discovering that I was far more attached to booleans than I had previously thought. I think students will enjoy this new interface. This summer will be spent refining my Endeca skills and updating all of my instruction for the new interface.
