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. |
