Search alerts are great tools to help you stay current with a topic. They can alert you when new articles or dissertations are published on your research topic. Additionally, you can be notified when the full text of a journal's new issue is available in a database. They are simple to set up and will save you time.
Many databases offer search alert services via email or RSS feed. The video below shows you how to set up a search alert. The boxes below the video show the location of search alert options in our major databases - EBSCO, GALE, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. If you have questions, Contact Us.
