computers once they download the RSS feed. This means that whenever you access the feed, you will have the most recent news from the National Academies.</p> <br/> <a name="section2"></a><p class="blurb"><strong>What material from the National Academies is available by RSS?</strong><br/> A growing collection of content from the National Academies provides daily access to news releases, publication announcements, research updates, and public statements. The Office of News and Public Information, Institute of Medicine, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Academies Press, and Proceedings from the National Academy of Sciences all host RSS feeds.</p> </br> <a name="section3"></a><p class="blurb"><strong>How do I use RSS?</strong><br/> RSS feeds -- like the National Academies' RSS feeds -- can be read by internet browsers or "news reader" programs. Both Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7.0 and Mozilla’s Firefox 2.0 support RSS feeds without downloading special software (see below for instructions). News reader programs are available for a range of computer platforms, many at low or no cost. To find an RSS feed reader, type "RSS reader" into an Internet search engine.</p><br/> <a name="section4"></a><p class="blurb"><strong>How do I subscribe to the National Academies news feed?</strong> <ul style="font-size: 10pt; font-family=verdana, arial, sans-serif"><li>For <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080928232532/http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/default.mspx">Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7.x</a>: <ol style="font-size: 10pt; font-family=verdana, arial, sans-serif"> <li>While on this page, in your browser's menu toolbar, find the RSS feed icon <img src="/web/20080928232532im_/http://www.nationalacademies.org/elements/rssbox.jpg"/> and click on the arrow immediately to its right</li> <li>Select which RSS feed you are interested in</li> <li>On the new page that displays, find the link for "Subscribe to this feed", and click it</li> <li>A window will pop up that says "Subscribe to this Feed".
