Creating Journal and Article Alerts

Many library databases will alert you when new records satisfying specific search criteria (e.g., journal title or keywords) are added to the database. Click on the "alert" or "RSS" links on the database results pages. You may need to save your search or view your search history in order to access these features. You will be asked to create a free account with the database provider. For help setting up article alerts using library databases, contact a librarian.
