Creating a Search Alert
Search Alerts save valuable research time, and can be set up to provide automatic e-mail notification whenever new search results become available. You can also retrieve those alerts to perform the search immediately, instead of waiting for the alert to run. You must log in to your MyEBSCO account to create a search alert.
To create a Search Alert:
1. After running a search, click the menu icon on the right and select Create alert.
2. If you are not logged in to your personal MyEBSCO account, you are prompted to do so.
3. On the Alert screen, enter the required information (Alert name, Email address), select a Frequency and notification preferences, and click Create alert.
Managing your Search Alerts in the Dashboard
1. After search alerts have been created, you can manage them from the Searches tab in My dashboard. They are also saved as a Search and can be found on the Saved tab of My dashboard.
To access your saved alert:
2. Click the icon on the right to open the menu from which you can Edit your alert, run the alert to View the current available results for your search, or Delete the alert.
3. When editing an alert, make your desired updated to the settings and click Save changes.
