What is an RSS feed?

RSS, an acronym for "Really Simple Syndication,” is a way for websites to distribute content updates to users. RSS updates, or “feeds,” are delivered through an RSS reader, which can be part of your web browser or can be installed on your computer. RSS content can also be sent to personal webpages such as a Yahoo or iGoogle page.

How do I subscribe to a RSS feed?

To subscribe to an RSS feed, click on the RSS icon and then click on the Subscribe link or button that will appear at the top of your browser page. If your preferred browser does not allow you to subscribe to an RSS feed directly, you can download and install a news reader. Many readers are available for free and can be easily downloaded over the web.

The National Reentry Resource Center is working to build the most extensive library of reentry resources and publications available on the Internet. Documents of interest to state and local policymakers, community- and faith-based organizations, and people returning home are arranged around several topics. The library includes publications authored by the leading organizations, researchers, service providers, and practitioners working in the reentry field. Descriptions of publications, in most cases, are based on or excerpted from the source publication or website.
