Ray Matthews, Utah Librarian and RSS expert says of the UNLN: “This is a fantastic way to keep informed of general library trends across the country, political battles, organization news, arriving in your email the same day the news is published, in most cases.â€
A librarian from the Washington County Library in St. George, Utah was perturbed because she had not received any library news for a few days. When she e-mailed Pam as to why she had not received any news she was informed that, believe it or not, there are some days when the “well runs dry.†She went on to inform Pam of how much she enjoyed receiving the updates and how she relied on UNLN for her daily library news fix.
The goal of this library news source is to make UNLN an essential part of your day.
