Creating a Search Alert in Ebsco Databases

If you're working on a big project or you need to keep up with the latest research then the "Search Alerts" feature in Ebsco databases can be very useful. You can save your search terms as an "alert" and the database will then email you everytime new records containing your terms are added - doing much of the hard work for you. N.B. You will need to set up a personal account (which is free) on Ebsco to make use of this service.

See the video below for instructions on how to set up search alerts.
