Alerts: Search, Journal, RSS Feeds

EBSCOhost users can save valuable time with Search Alerts by creating automatic email deliveries to designated recipients, such as coworkers, faculty or students, of new results for their most recently-conducted search. Alerts emails include links to new articles, and are generated at user-customizable intervals.

EBSCOhost users can also create Journal Alerts. Once set, a Journal Alert will provide automatic email notification whenever a new issue of the designated journal has been added to a specified database(s). Users can customize the duration and frequency of the Journal Alert process, and determine with whom they wish to automatically share the new information.

EBSCO's One-Step RSS Feed Alerts allow users who wish to receive updated EBSCOhost search results on a newsreader or web page to instantly capture a syndicated RSS feed URL whenever they conduct a search in EBSCOhost. As RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology becomes more widely used, EBSCOhost users will find more ways to incorporate this simple and convenient alert functionality.
