What is RSS and How do I Use It?

Get the latest For Your Information digest postings sent directly to your computer, cell phone, or PDA. It's free, and easy to do using what's called RSS - or Really Simple Syndication. RSS gives you the power to decide which FYI event notices to receive from the University of Maryland on a daily basis.

You can subscribe to the default FYI feed which will include notices for ALL event types OR you can customize your own FYI feed by choosing exactly what types of event notices to receive.

For more information on RSS and how to subscribe, please visit the RSS Instructions posted on the IT Help Desk
