Have the database do the work for you! A Search Alert will search CSA weekly for new citations on your topic. Once you set it up, it will automatically search your selected databases for new content every week. After Creating a personal account, you will receive an email message that contains up to 250 new records from each database that has new matching content.
Instructions are nearly the same as saving searches in CSA.
Accessing and Searching CSA
1. Go to the Online Database Gateway and click on CSA.
2. Choose databases and click on Continue to search
3. Search for your topic in Quick or Advanced Search.
Save As Alert
1. Click on the Search Tools link at the top.
2. Click on Search History.
3. Find the search you want to save and click on Save As Alert at the right. You will get a log in screen where you can create a login using your email address and a password.
5. Click on Log out in the upper left hand side when you are done.
This is a big time saver--ask Katrina or Lucy if you have any questions.
