What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It is a method of sending news or other Web content that is available for "feeding" (distribution or syndication) from an online publisher to Web users. RSS is XML based. It's an easy way of collecting together information, like news headlines, from various websites using a news reader. With RSS, a user does not have to visit the web site to view the latest news or other information, they only need the News Reader since it will collect all the information from the feeds.

How can I use CPSC's RSS news feed?
You'll need to install a program called a news reader which automatically retrieves and then displays the information you want from your selected websites.

How do I obtain a news reader?
There are many different news readers available, and many are for free. Most are applications that you can download and install to your computer, while some, are web-browser based. Below is a selection that can work on common operating systems.
