A number of web resources, both free and requiring a subscription, provide services that push alerts of new information to your email. These services include alerting services associated with databases and ones associated with journals. See description at each of these links for what each does.
Resources and links change. If you notice anything that needs updating in below, let Brian Simboli know.
The library's list of databases includes some that enable you to set up email alerts of new records that satisfy the search criteria you specify. Below are library databases that do so, along with links to directions about how to sign up for the services. While some databases do not provide this email capability, they may enable you to save a search that you can manually run at a later time. Check the help or FAQs of a database to see if it provides this capability. You may contact your subject librarian for assistance in setting up an alert or saved searches.
The library may not own the print version or provide electronic access to the materials that are listed in an alert. Check ASA to determine if the library has the material. If the library does not, consult the resources under "Interlibrary Loan" category on the Library homepage.
