Alerting services to your email account
Monday, December 24th, 2007For those who prefer to have alerts of search results or Table of Contents for specific journals sent to you by email, many database providers feature such a service.
The basic steps are:-
- registering with the database as an user
- doing a search on your topic OR
- a journal title search for Table of Contents (ToC)
- save as an email alert
- stipulate the frequency (daily, weekly or monthly)
- and the format (HTML or Text)
Then simply await for the alerts to be delivered to your email account.
For example, Web of Knowledge steps are available at: http://www.library.uq.edu.au/bio/useits/wok/wok_alert.html
