RSS feeds for public CRS searches

I just became aware of a handy feature of the University of North Texas’ collection of Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports. You can create RSS feeds of search results.

For example, here is a feed to CRS reports mentioning “government information”

http://digital.library.unt.edu/govdocs/crs/rss/?q=%22government+information%22&t=fulltext&o=&system=CRS

Once you have your RSS feed, you can plug it into your favorite application or into something like feed2js like this:

The only drawback is that neither UNT, Open CRS or any other public source of CRS reports is complete. As readers of FGI know, Congress has chosen to hold back these valuable reports. Thankfully groups like the Open House Project are trying to change this.
