New Social Networking Features on the Info Long-Term Care Blog

For those of you who use Social Networking tools like RSS feeds and RefShare, I've added links and RSS feeds for a few of the RefShare files we maintain to produce the J. W. Crane's Current Perspective Series and Agelit in the section on the blog called MORE CURRENT AWARENESS AT THE J. W. CRANE MEMORIAL LIBRARY.

This section appears on the right side of the blog between WHAT'S NEW IN THE JOURNAL LITERATURE and LABELS.

I've also added a link to the RefShare file for Agelit.

Agelit and Current Perspectives are the J. W. Crane Memorial Library's current awareness publications.
