What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and it is an easy way for you to keep abreast of up-to-the-minute content newly available on AEI.org without cluttering your e-mail inbox. The content is delivered in a "feed" that you can monitor using an RSS reader, which you can get as a small software program on your desktop or through an online service. An RSS reader will collect all the updates from RSS feeds that you subscribe to, and it will display them in a central location.

Through our RSS feeds, you can get updates on current work that our scholars are doing in your areas of interest. AEI.org offers RSS feeds that monitor all six research areas and all of the publications that the Institute releases. In addition, AEI.org offers scholar-specific RSS feeds that allow you to get the latest updates on particular scholars' works.
