What is an RSS feed?
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a way to publicize updates from web pages by pushing the new information to a user via an RSS feed. You can learn a lot more about RSS from this Wikipedia article on RSS To use RSS feeds, you first need an RSS feed reader. Following are brief directions for using Microsoft Outlook 2007 as your feed reader. RefWorks, the Library's bibliographic management program, also offers a feed reader feature.

How can I put an RSS feed into Outlook?
· First, click on the Mail icon on the lower left hand side to make sure you bring up the
"Mail Folders" on the left side of Outlook.
· Then, navigate down to RSS Feeds.
· Right click on RSS Feeds and select "Add a New RSS Feed..."

· Type or paste into this box the feed URL you want (see below). For example, I want all new books from Computer Science beginning with the Library of Congress classification letters, QA. So I type in this URL: http://library.bloomu.edu/cgi-bin/cupdbnewrss.cgi?QA and click "Add".
· Repeat to add more feeds.
