As ILRI staff produce more and more news, updates and products, finding information and keeping up with the work of colleagues is a challenge (see a Komms Klinic presentation on this). We all need to proactively sign up to ‘follow’ the work of our colleagues.
One of the easiest ways to do this is through so-called RSS or news ‘feeds’. You can see them on many web sites with the orange logo on this page.
Almost all the web sites and services ILRI uses can produce such feeds.
What’s special about them you ask – well, they allow you to bring the latest news into your email box as and when a news item is published. So you don’t ever have to visit or re-visit the web site – it comes to you.
Subscribing to ILRI’s news alerts by email is very easy:
- Find the service you are interested in (a few are listed below)
- Click on the link and enter your email address
- In the new window that opens, type in the little text (to prevent spammers)
- Look in your email box for a confirmation message – you need to open this and then click on the link in the message.
If you are ever tired of the messages, there is an unsubscribe option within the email messages you receive.
You can find a longer list of these feeds on our web site; you can also subscribe to alerts on ILRI’s research outputs as well as updates on countries and regions and the topics we work on.
