Other SDSU News sources

Around SDSU there are a number of other RSS feeds:
University News has an RSS feed. The University Events does not.
The College of Science NewsRoom has news_feed.xml.
The Society of Physics Students has a Blog setup via rss.xml.

Archived Physics News

You can view all of our archived news in either HTML or XML formats.

An RSS feed is a push-type system used for Blogs/News, so you do not need to constantly come back to the homepage to check on the latest event, the program will tell you. A nice introduction to this can be found at MacWorld. To read a feed, either use your browser (eg. you can add .xml bookmarks to Firefox, Safari, IE).
Even more fun is to read articles by subscribing to a RSS feed using a dedicated program (eg. Thunderbird, Firefox extension, MACOSX eg. NetNewsWire Lite) that treats RSS more like incoming email.

Most journals have launched RSS feeds, including Physical Review.
