What is RSS?

RSS 2.0 stands for "Really Simple Syndication". RSS allows organizations and individuals to syndicate news and information to a large audience with relative ease. A vast number of resources about RSS exist on the web, including:

• Introduction to RSS (www.webreference.com)
• RSS Readers (www.blogspot.com/rss)
• RSS (file format) (www.wikipedia.org)

How Can I Read RSS Feeds?

In order to read RSS feeds, you'll need an RSS reader. You can choose to use a web browser such as Mozilla Firefox (note: not all browsers include RSS support. Internet Explorer does not, for example), a standalone program (a list of them can be found at http://blogspace.com/rss/readers), or a mail client, such as Mozilla Thunderbird (note: not all email clients include RSS support).

Where is the UW System Clipsheet feed located?

The UW System Clipsheet RSS feed can be found at: http://www.wisconsin.edu/clipsheet/clipsheet.xml. This feed is updated when the UW System Clipsheet is sent out during the week.
