RSS is a web feed format used to publish frequently-updated content. Use this feed in an RSS reader or browser (Safari 2, Firefox 2, or Internet Explorer 7 and higher)

The latest Vanderbilt events can be quickly and easily syndicated using RSS feeds. This means you can incorporate Vanderbilt events into your own Web site, or have them delivered automatically to your desktop.

RSS, which stands for Real Simple Syndication, is based on a data format called XML. It allows users to choose from which organizations they wish to receive information, in a simple, organized and, most importantly, timely way.

RSS feeds are available for free to all Web users. RSS aggregators, or readers, collect RSS feeds from all of the sites that an individual chooses and present the feeds to them, providing constant updates. Users review the headlines as they come in and decide which stories to read, without having to surf the Web or scan through multiple pages of a favorite site for the news they need.

Users of newer browsers can automatically sign up to receive RSS feeds by clicking the  icon.  If you prefer to view Vanderbilt's RSS news feeds with an aggregator, paste this URL into your aggregator: http://calendar.vanderbilt.edu/calendar/rss/set/100.
