Alerts - why use them?

Research Alerts are a database feature used to inform you of new material related to a particular topic, author, publication, search, keyword, or subject.

Keeping up to date on the most recently published information can be a time consuming process. Using alerts can help save time by directing the databases to deliver results from preset search criteria, conveniently to either your email address or RSS Feed reader.
