RSS
By offering our news stories in syndication via RSS (Rich Site Summary or Really Simple Syndication), those using news aggregation programs will receive the latest headlines as soon as they are posted to www.umbc.edu .
For those new to news readers, they are software programs that retrieve stories and information posted on Web sites. The news is formatted in RSS, which is a form of eXtensible markup language (XML).
Instead of hunting for stories from Web site to Web site through a browser, a news reader program automatically fetches headlines and news updates for you. News reader programs are available in both free and fee-based versions on the Internet.
Newsgator and Bloglines are free news readers that are easy to set up.
To get the latest UMBC news delivered via RSS, copy the links below and paste them into the subscription window of your news reader. It's that simple.

Podcasts
Podcasts are similar to RSS feeds in that they allow users to subscribe for the automatic delivery of content through an appropriate reader. In the case of Podcasts, audio and video content is subscribed to and downloaded. Listeners and viewers can access this content on their computer or transfer it to portable players (hence the name "Podcast").
As with RSS, an appropriate reader (sometimes referred to as an "aggregator") is needed to subscribe to an view content. Apple's cross-platform iTunes music application has Podcasting integrated in versions 4.9 and higher. Another good aggregator available for both PC and Mac is Fire Ant. Use the following URL's to subscribe to UMBC Podcasts.
