I chose the Canadian Reference Centre and did a search for Stratford Festival. As I was behind, I only had the opportunity to subscribe a few days ago and as such, only received one update for the following article:
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO LOOK LIKE YOU KNOW ABOUT… LUNCHING WITH SHAKESPEARE 04/26/2008

For the Gale’s Academic OneFile database, I chose to subscribe to any new articles about Global Warming. I chose to be notified by email about any new updates and received 3 so far.
Library customers might use this Feed service for a number of different reasons. For example, students who might be writing a thesis or researching for an Independent Study topic may find it extremely useful to be notified of any up to date information on current events or aspects of their chosen topic. Patrons might also find it useful for the latest information concerning health issues. When demonstrating to patrons how to use the databases effectively, in person, on the phone or even in one of the computer classes, staff should make it a general practice to mention these forms by which they can continue to receive updates or new articles with respect to their topic.
