We can’t stop talking about RSS

RSS (aka Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is a format for sharing and distributing Web content, and it is taking over!

For example, check out all the RSS feeds available from the NIH & the National Library of Medicine. Whether you want updates on consumer health news, high quality information about marketed drugs, or NIH Clinical Alerts & Advisories, there’s a feed for you. You can even set up an RSS feed on your specific research interests in PubMed. Now that’s one way to impress your colleagues!

RSS still confusing? Don’t let it threaten you. Check out this quick & easy overview of RSS from USA.gov & become an RSS-pert.
