Search Alerts

Search alerts allow you to specify keywords or subjects in fields of interest to you. When a new record is added to the database that matches your search criteria, then the database will send an email notification to you about the new publications in your area of interest.

In addition to search alerts, many electronic resources also feature journal alerts. These allow you to specify certain journal titles that you would like to receive email table of contents for new issues.

Search and journal alerts help you to stay informed of new research in your area. Even though search alerts are fairly straightforward to set up, the steps to create your alert can vary in each database or ejournal interface. In addition, many databases have different names for search alerts, including "preferred searches," "my searches," saved searches," "email alerts," and even "my account."

The list below will give you step-by-step instructions for creating search alerts in some of our most popular databases. If you have a question about setting up alerts in other resources, please ask us and we will be happy to help.
