Table of Contents email Alert Services

Do you find that there are more publications in your field than you can keep up with? With Alert services you can have the Table of Contents of your favorite magazine or journal sent to you by e-mail, each time it's published. This service is offered by a number of our databases and provides access to thousands of journal titles.

You can receive regular e-mail notification for newly published research, journal tables of content, and other types of information based on criteria you specify. Registration is generally required, but it is free. An additional advantage is that you can be alerted to articles that match your research interests.

It's simple to use these services. Stop by the library and a librarian will be happy to assist you.
