American Libraries offers an RSS feed

American Libraries now offers an RSS feed on its website. If you have a news aggregator, you can subscribe and have the headlines come to you. See the RSS icon on any AL Online web page; "About RSS Feeds" helps explain the process.

ALA members can search American Libraries back issues through 2003 using the ebrary platform, which transforms printed pages into a dynamic database. Link to it on the AL Online website by clicking on "archive" or the cover image at the top <http://www.ala.org/alonline/>.

American Libraries' website also features the latest "Internet Librarian" by Joseph Janes; "Technically Speaking" by Andrew Pace; AL's "Career Leads" job ads; listings of conferences, continuing-education courses, exhibitions, and other events from AL's "Datebook"; and Tables of Contents for the current year.
