How do I use RSS?

To use RSS, you will need a special RSS news reader or aggregator that will allow you to collect and display an RSS service. RSS news readers allow you to view all your different RSS feeds in the same place and, by automatically retrieving updates, stay current with new content soon after it is published. There are many different free news readers available.

After setting up your news reader you will be ready to use RSS feeds. To subscribe to our feed, copy and paste this URL to your news reader: http://www.oit.umass.edu/news/general.rss
