-------------------------------------------------------------
A new RSS Feed (Rich Site Summary/Really Simple Syndication) for
"What's New" on GPO Access is available for free from the U.S.
Government Printing Office (GPO) at http://www.gpoaccess.gov.
RSS is a small XML file that notifies users when a Web site has been
updated. Users can subscribe to an RSS feed using a stand-alone
program, also known as an aggregator or news-reader. They will then
receive a type of notification message that alerts them to additions
to the "What's New" feature of GPO Access. Links to numerous news
readers are available from the DMOZ Open Directory Project, Google, or
Yahoo.
RSS feeds ensure more timely and efficient information dissemination,
as subscribers receive up-to-the-minute updates from GPO.
For more information or to submit comments on GPO's RSS feeds, visit
http://www.gpoaccess.gov/rss/. As additional feeds are added, they
will be compiled on this page.
The first RSS feed launched by GPO was introduced in July 2005. That
feed offers FDLP Desktop News and Updates and is available at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/index.html.
If you have questions, please use the GPO online help service at:
