Notice of Faculty News url change

We use Blogger to create this Faculty News blog and have just learned that due to vendor changes, we can no longer host the blog on the Library site.

As a result, the blog url will change during the week of April 5th.

What does this mean for you? Instead of the RSS feed coming from http://library.humber.ca/faculty/news.php, it will be coming from a blogspot.com url, which still needs to be determined.

Please check the following path on April 5th and resubscribe to the RSS feed.
