ALERT creation in EBSCO

Wellehan provides most of the databases it makes available via EBSCO. Anyone can create an alert notification within EBSCO so that the search that is critical to your research will be redone at the interval you select. Any new results will be delivered to you via email!

To learn how to do this, simply log into any of the EBSCO databases (ex. Academic Search Premier), and click on the HELP link in the upper right-hand corner. This will take you to a menu of choices. Select "Saving Searches and Alerts." Then, select "Saving a Search as an alert." You will be asked to name the search and alert and to provide other parameters for the alert.
Once you have completed the information and submitted the form, you can relax and await an email!
