What is RSS?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based Web standard that allows you to display the latest headlines from your favorite sites using special programs call RSS readers (also news readers, news aggregators) and then directly access the articles you wish to see. The AccessScience RSS feed delivers headlines and links back to the latest Encyclopedia articles, news stories, and announcements posted on the AccessScience home page.
RSS readers within browsers: These browsers automatically detect RSS feeds on websites by displaying an icon on the toolbar. You can read RSS feeds directly in the browser, scan for items of interest to you, and filter your view with search terms or site-specific categories.
The Firefox browser (available for Windows, Mac, and Linux users) has a built-in RSS reader called "Live Bookmarks." For more information, see
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/livebookmarks.html
Internet Explorer 7 also has a built-in RSS reader. For more information, see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx#ie7rss
How do I use an RSS Reader other than my web browser?
Select and download an RSS reader that will allow you to collect and display RSS feeds. Many free readers are available. Search the Web for "news aggregator" or "RSS reader" to locate a reader to download. Please follow your specific RSS reader's instructions for setting up an RSS Feed.
