Colleagues/

I am greatly interested in learning more about the practice of subscribing to Alerts / RSS 
/ WebFeeds from any/all A&I databases in order to track the publications of departmental 
researchers at your institution to inform one's identification and selection of other / 
non-institutional relevant publications and/or nstruction responsibilities and/or 
reference services.

That Is >

Knowledge of themes / topics / foci of current / recent institutional research can / might 
/ would provide greater insight and thus permit one to select current / recent items that 
can / might / would be of greater potential value for supporting the current / future 
research agenda of one's department(s) / institution and/or guiding information and /or 
reference services >>> Whew !!! [:-)

I have created a very/very brief Survey Monkey survey at
