Federal RSS Feeds

Marylaine Block found this one (and Steve Cohen at Library Stuff pointed it out) : a firstgov.gov page that gathers together many federal RSS feeds.
       Library Stuff also noticed that we can now set up RSS feeds on specific searches in PubMed, which will be a very handy export option; there's a Howto page. (I just set one up for 'hantavirus'. We'll see how frequently new items come along.) PubMed is a citation database; for access to (a much smaller set of) full-text articles, try PubMed Central.
       Feed? We found a reasonable explanation at Chetan's Monologue. A description of how to get started using Bloglines for your feed reader is on the Librarian's Index site. Or try the explanation at FaganFinder, which offers a three word summary...
