When to use
Your library may publish frequently updated web content such as news and/or blog and you may want the latest updates automatically added to your website.
If you want to display a list of latest posts in the sidebar on all pages of your website, use the WordPress built-in RSS widget. You can add it by going to Appearance -> Widget -> RSS. Please note: only a site administrator can create a site-wide RSS widget.
If you want to display the title of the latest post on a specific page, use this shortcode.

New Reflection Room in the Main Library
The University Library announces the opening of a new Reflection Room—a quiet, welcoming spot for reflection, meditation, contemplation, or prayer. Features include a couch and non-locking cubbies for belongings, as well as a foot washing station. The Reflection Room is located in Room 438 of the Main Library and is open to all during regular building hours—no reservation is needed.
There is also a Reflection Room in Grainger Engineering Library Information Center (Room 229).
