RSS Help

This page describes what RSS is and provides information on how to syndicate Electronic Journal Center titles into your RSS reader.

What Is RSS?

RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” (among other things) and is a way to track news and other “syndicated content” using XML. In the Electronic Journal Center, you can receive tables of contents from individual journals whenever new issues are added. To syndicate journal titles, click on the button found on the journal’s list of issues and copy the URL into your RSS reader. Consult your RSS reader for more information.

More information on RSS is available from these resources from the Librarian’s Index to the Internet.
