Did you know that the Dartmouth website
offers news updates in the form of RSS-XML feeds? RSS, which stands for
"Really Simple Syndication," is one of the fastest-growing methods of
accessing information on the Web. The technology produces a list of headlines,
brief summaries and links to stories, delivered directly to your computer via
news feeds, allowing you to subscribe to and conveniently access updates from
your favorite sites.
Software programs called news aggregators consolidate the feeds you
subscribe to and display them as a menu of headlines. Instead of visiting and
searching multiple sites, you can open your news aggregator, browse the
headlines and open only the stories that interest you.
Dartmouth currently provides a number of RSS feeds, including news from the
Office of Public Affairs, Dartmouth Athletics, the libraries and the events
calendar. (More Dartmouth RSS
