The Public Can Now Subscribe to Update Service for USGS Frequently Asked
Questions: The public can now subscribe to receive automatic notifications
when one or more of thousands of USGS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
are
updated or when a new FAQ is added to the Web. The transaction is made
through a RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed. The new service has been
advertised on the USGS home page, the specially designated RSS page, and
the main FAQ page where the public can "browse" through the FAQ database
by
categories.  This service to the public supports broader E-Government
initiatives of the President's Management Agenda.
