AUS Library RSS Feeds

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for distributing web site content. Using your browser, or a news (RSS) reader, AUS Library RSS feeds bring the latest news and new acquisitions to your desktop. Feeds are updated every 2 weeks so remember to check them often.

AUS Feeds consist of headlines or new book titles, a summary, and a link back to our website or the full record in the AUS Library catalog depending on the feed. If you are new to RSS, a helpful RSS Quickstart guide is available at the Lockergnome Web site.

To learn how to create a RSS feed for the Table of Contents of your favorite journal or a feed for your favorite search please see the Generating Personalized RSS Feeds page.
