Other ways of keeping up-to-date

I set up several Google Alerts: Colosseum, Lake Rotoehu, and Growing vegetables in NZ. My inbox wasn't too overloaded, so I didn't need to filter them. Personally, I wouldn't use alerts and will delete these ones later, but for those people who must have the latest up-to-the-minute information, alerts would be great. While searching for New Book Releases for another alert, I found Kawerau Public Library's website and was quite impressed with it. Every 10-14 days they publish a list of New Book Releases covering not only fiction, but also non-fiction, CDs and DVDs, and children's. Conveniently this is a word document which can be printed off for patrons to take home. A useful suggestion for our website perhaps?
