Be proactive and help your professor stay current in his or her discipline by creating an alert across a variety of resources. Alerts can be configured in the library databases, in a specific journal, and in Google Scholar.
Review the instructions below to create a variety of alerts.
A search alert in a library database will notify you when new documents that match your search are available.
Many journals allow you to create and schedule email alerts to deliver new documents from a specific journal as they become available.
Below is an example of a Journal Alert (also known as a Publicaton Alert) in the Proquest Database. Other databases will have similar procedures.
Create or log into your Google account or Gmail. Select Alerts at the top of the page.
