LGS RSS Feeds
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for content
distribution. LGS offers the RSS feeds listed below for use in news readers and
blogs. To use these feeds, you will need a News Reader or personalized
homepage, such as Google home page or My Yahoo!
Using RSS with a Personalized Web Page
Some web sites offer personalized pages (such as Google home page, My Yahoo,
and Reddit.com) allow you to add and view RSS feeds (also known as News feeds).
If you use one of these personalized pages, follow the web page’s instructions
for adding RSS or News Feeds to the page.
Most of these pages will ask you to enter the address for the RSS feed
you want to add. To get the address for an LGS RSS feed, click one of the feeds
on the right side of this page (e.g., “Press Releases”), then copy and paste
the address (that appears in your web browser’s address bar) into the space
provided for it on your personalized page. Once you’ve added the address, the
latest articles from the LGS RSS feed will display when you access your
personalized page.
Using RSS with an RSS Reader
To view our RSS feeds using an RSS reader, follow the instructions below. Some
RSS readers are provided for no charge, others are offered for a software fee
from the vendor.
Step 1. Download and install a News Reader. You may use the
News Reader of your choice.
See 
Google’s RSS Directory for a wide selection of readers.
Step 2. On the LGS RSS page, click on the RSS feed you want to view
(a list of feeds appears on the right side of this page). After clicking on a
feed, you will see some XML code appear in the browser window. Copy the address
(URL) in your browser’s address bar, then open your News Reader.
Step 3. In the News reader, follow the instructions for adding a new
feed. You will paste the address (copied from the LGS web site) into the space
provided for it in your News reader.
Step 4. Whenever you wish to view the RSS feed, open your reader and
it will display the latest content from the feed(s) you’ve added to the
reader.
Can I make my own RSS feeds?
It is possible to create your own feeds by using our Search Engine. The
first step is to choose your search criteria (e.g., "Broadband"
"whitepaper"), then click the search button. If the search
results return pages and documents that are in your area of interest, click on
the RSS feed icon and add the address to your RSS reader. Once the
feed has been added to your reader, it will display the latest search results
using the search criteria you defined in the first step.
