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 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 news reader or web page to capture a syndicated RSS feed URL instantly, 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.
