Library of Congress RSS Feeds
The Library of Congress has a number of RSS feeds. Many are primarily
of interest to those headed to DC, but there are also some excellent
copyright feeds, law feeds, and other interesting feeds. A list of the
feeds with descriptions is available here: http://www.loc.gov/rss/.
GPO And Depository Libraries Partner To Offer Online Reference Assistance
The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) is joining the
University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Federal Depository
Libraries around the country to provide an online reference service to
the American public. UIC will manage and maintain this unique free web
based service called "Government Information Online: Ask a
Librarian." It will be supported by nearly 20 public, academic and
state libraries throughout the country. This service will give the
public an opportunity to ask questions about government resources to
librarians who specialize in finding government information on every
topic.
An example of how this service works: with the
current process in the Presidential elections, the public may have
questions about the primaries, caucuses and Electoral College process.
A librarian is available at http://govtinfo.org/ to answer those or any other questions about the government.
Yale University currently offers "Ask a Librarian" services to its library patrons, at http://www.library.yale.edu/reference/asklive/index.html
S.M.U. Makes It Official: Bush Library Is Coming
From the February 23, 2008 New York Times...
A center devoted to the life, works, papers and policies of
President Bush will be built at Southern Methodist University, despite
lingering concerns and opposition from some Methodists. In addition to
a library of presidential papers, the center here will include a museum
and a public policy institute that will generally be independent of the
university, though it will appoint at least one board member.
