The Weekly Roundup is an ongoing project for the McNair Center. Weekly Roundup posts are published Friday afternoons and cover news relating to entrepreneurship from the week (and sometimes the previous weekend as well). The Weekly Roundup began in the Fall 2016 term and originally focused on both Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Currently, the McNair Center is only publishing a Weekly Roundup on Entrepreneurship.

===RSS Feed Sources (current RSS feed uses a Google Chrome plug-in)===
I currently use 7 RSS feeds for content selection:
*[http://www.nytimes.com/topic/subject/venture-capital New York Times, Venture Capital]
*[https://www.entrepreneur.com/latest Entrepreneur: Latest Articles]
===Additional Web ResourcesSources=== I also refer to additional online sources, including:
*[https://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network/entrepreneur-stories The Gaurdian - Entrepeneur stories]
*[http://www.thedeal.com/ The Deal] - [https://twitter.com/TheDealNewsroom The Deal's Twitter Feed]
=Current To-do/Recommendations for Improvement=
In future terms, the content search process for news articles could be made more efficient through further automation. Increased automation could be achieved by expanding the RSS feed base, as well as implementing a web crawler, especially for sources such as PitchBook and CrunchBase.
