Victoria University has begun offering personalised subscriptions to new content published to its website, starting with updates from the Victoria Events site.

By using the Events Subscriptions service, you can have notices about specific kinds of events sent to you as soon as they’re published online. The service works by using RSS software easily obtainable off the Internet.

RSS software lets you subscribe to specific website content that you're interested in and have it delivered to you while you’re online. Users of RSS services find it saves them a lot of time looking for updates on the different websites they’re interested in.

All you need to get started is a supported RSS reader or a web browser that support RSS or includes an RSS plugin. The particular reader you download will depend on your computer’s operating system and your own preferences. More information: RSS and RSS readers and aggregators.

Examples include:

Desktop:
NewzCrawler (Windows)
FeedDemon
NetNewsWire

Browsers:
Safari (Mac OSX)
Mozilla Firefox (live bookmarks or plugin RSS reader)
Explorer 7 (when available)

Web:
Bloglines
Live Journal
My Yahoo!

Any web page with the RSS symbol will offer subscription content that you can download to your RSS reader.
