Setting up a search alert allows you to receive email updates on your search topic. And in ProQuest it's very easy to do.
Go to ProQuest, input your search terms and click on the Search button. Just above the results list you will see a Set Up Alert link. Click on the link to set up your Search Alert. You can choose to have updates sent to your email account daily, weekly, monthly, or every three months. You can also set up when you want the alerts to stop being sent.
After you set up the search alert, you will be periodically sent email of new citations which match your search. If you would like to do the same in CSA, please see the November 2005 posting for details and instructions.
