Thanks for pointing that out, Eric. Following that new releases feed sounds like a great way to stay on top of what becomes available. Wouldn't it be great if more data streams like that were made available by different organizations? I had no idea those RSS feeds were available either. Thanks for pointing that out, Eric.

What about a blog from the perspective of the newspaper where readers could add thoughts about the reporting process and how things were covered? I agree.

I simply subscribe to the New DVD Releases feed http://kplcatalog.ci.ankeny.ia.us:81/ipac/rss/dvdrss.xml and then when I see a movie I want to watch I can use the website to put a hold on it and when the movie is available I get an automated email message.
