As in Thing # 3, the ability to get RSS fields is a fantastic utility tool. This tool enables the user to stay current on areas of interest. The implantation of this tool into the databases enables the user to receive up-to-date information from journals or other applicable sources of their choice. For research being conducted in a particular area over a period of time, the use of Search Alert can save the seeker valuable time.
Page Composer can be a useful collaborative tool particularly in creating resources for patrons. Patrons have the ability to access the web page and utilize its suggested resources as part of a shared group. I really liked the web page examples that were created by various teachers and librarians.
NetLibrary notes is another excellent feature for the student or learner. Notes from the e-book can be taken in relation to the text being referenced. This facilitates the ability to recall what the thought process was as one read through a particular passage. These notes can also be accessed by multiple users facilitating collaboration on a book that is being shared among several users.
