What is RSS?
RSS permits you to have updates of web content delivered directly
to your computer and other web-enabled devices. Using files, commonly
referred to as feeds, RSS typically provides recent headlines,
short summaries and links to news articles.
In most cases, in order to access RSS, you will need a special
news reader or aggregator. The reader lets you gather the feeds
that interest you into a single place and have it update automatically
when new information is published. It is a fast and efficient way
to access multiple news sources without having to visit many different
web sites.
There are many RSS readers, both web and software-based, that
are available for free. Some popular, free browser-based RSS aggregators
include Bloglines, Google
Reader and My Yahoo. If
you would like to use a software product please check with your
computer support team about compatibility with your operating system.
The University of Pennsylvania does not yet have a supported RSS
reader. Information on Penn supported browsers that can display
RSS feeds can be found here.
The following RSS news feeds are now available. To subscribe
or view any of the feeds just copy the link address and paste it
into your RSS reader.
Other RSS feeds from the Office of University Communications are available here.
