Really Simple Syndication |
||||||||
Finding it overwhelming to stay on top of all the Web sites you visit regularly? Many Web sites update their pages frequently and if you need to stay informed on specific topics, you can use a tool known as RSS (or Really Simple Syndication). RSS is a way to deliver headlines and frequently updated Web content to users; the RSS messages contain article headlines, summaries and links back to the updated Web pages. RSS news readers, by automatically retrieving updates, allow you to stay current with new content soon after it is published. To start using RSS, you need a special news reader or aggregator that displays RSS content feeds from Web sites you select. Some examples of news readers are FeedDemon, FeedReader, My Yahoo!, NewzCrawler, and NewsGator. For more information, see the For more information, see the RSS 2.0 specifications and CNET's Review of RSS Readers. The AHC has created an RSS feed for its Events Calendar.. Questions or feedback on this new venture would be most welcome and can be sent to ahc@uwyo.edu. In particular we would like to hear of other RSS feeds you would find useful from the AHC: other possibilities include news releases, or newly acquired collections. |
