About RSS
What is RSS?
In short RSS provides an alternate view of web content by providing a stream of headlines. People can use feed aggregators to view headlines from all of their favorite sites in one place.
For further explanation of RSS, its use, history, and technology, you may read the articles on xml.com, BBC, or Wikipedia.
What feeds are available from the CCDL?

How do I view RSS?
There are many free or low cost tools called "news readers", "feed readers", or "agrigators" available that allow you to "subscribe to," view and manage RSS feeds. Feeds can also be combined and displayed by web tools such as blogs. A short list of popular news readers can be found on blogspace.com, or BBC and an extensive list can be found at newsonfeeds.com
If I subscribe to a feed how will I be notified when new items are available?
When new items are added to a collection they will also appear in the corresponding rss feed. Because RSS is a pull technology you will only see changes to the feed when you explicitly view it. Your feed reader may check the feed periodically and be able to alert you when new items appear, however the CCDL is not aware of your subscription and cannot notify you when the feed changes.
