What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. With RSS feeds, people can receive the latest news or content changes without having to regularly visit the site to check for updates. Many web browsers now include automatic checking for RSS feeds when you visit a website, and display an icon when they find one. This can make subscribing to RSS feeds much simpler.

Where can I find a news reader?

There are quite a few RSS feed readers out there, and many are free. If you use Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Thunderbird, you already have a news reader since these have readers built in. Web-based readers usually ask you to register, then all you need to do is simply cut and paste the URL of the RSS feed into an "Add subscription" or "Add Feed / RSS by URL" box to start viewing the content. Here are some RSS aggregators:

Mozilla Firefox (set up RSS in Firefox)
Mozilla Thunderbird (set up RSS in Thunderbird)
Internet Explorer 7 (set up RSS in IE7)
Google Reader
My Yahoo!
AmphetaDesk for Mac, Windows, and Linux
Bloglines is web-based
Newsgator is web-based
Many more readers at the RSS Compendium

How to subscribe to our feeds

Click on the the feed icon next to the content you want to subscribe to. You can choose to receive your feeds in Bloglines, My Yahoo!, Newsgator, and many other news readers. You can also subscribe to feeds using Live Bookmarks by clicking the "View Feed XML" link.

One example of a News Aggregator/Feed Reader

This is Bloglines, a web-based feed reader showing the library's recently acquired Bestsellers.

If you decide that RSS readers are not for you, you can have the contents of feeds sent to you via email.
