Citing Business Sources
 

Sometimes a database will give you the option to cite an article. Other times, you will need to create the citation yourself.

  • RSS Feeds

​

What is a RSS Feed?
 

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is an XML-based Web-content syndication format used to deliver constantly updated headline feeds to readers. RSS feeds deliver headlines, descriptions, and links back to today's stories. It's an easy way for you to be alerted when content that interests you appears.
 

How do I Use an RSS Feed?
 

To use RSS, you will need to first download a special RSS news reader that will allow you to collect and display RSS feeds. Many readers are available, and most are free.
 

For example, anyone with a Google, Safari, or MyYahoo account can subscribe to RSS feeds. There are many browser extensions for this process that are available.
