The Library of Congress has launched a series of news feeds using the RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology.

Since its launch in 1994, the Library’s Web site has been the destination of Web users seeking authoritative information and unparalleled collections, with more than 22 million digital objects available in 186 terabytes of content, including photographs, maps, music, film, books and reference information on topics ranging from American history to science and technology to popular culture. The RSS service was launched in response to public requests for alerts on additions to the Library’s digital collections, updates of events at the Library’s public venues in Washington and news of the institution.
