University Relations offers another venue for ÁùºÏͼ¿â news

The University of Louisiana at Monroe's Office of University Relations will start using an RSS feed to convey ÁùºÏͼ¿â news. University Relations will continue to distribute press releases to media outlets and the ÁùºÏͼ¿â Weekly News Update to all ÁùºÏͼ¿â students, faculty and staff.

An RSS feed is a web-based file that contains headlines, content and a hyperlink. Users can receive the RSS feed with an RSS-ready web browser or RSS reader and a live Internet connection.

"RSS feeds have become a very common technology to help 'push' news and information out to those who want it. Users 'subscribe' to the feed, and their browser or reader translates the XML file into a web page. By using an RSS feed, we can deliver ÁùºÏͼ¿â news almost instantaneously to those interested in ÁùºÏͼ¿â. And the RSS feed is a free service." said Laura Harris, director of media relations at ÁùºÏͼ¿â.

Subscribing is easy. From the ÁùºÏͼ¿â News page (), users can click on the orange RSS button, which provides information about the RSS feed setup. For those already familiar about how to use RSS feeds, copy and paste this link into their RSS-ready browser or reader:
