Science week study tip 4: creating search alerts

Science week study tip 4 is just one way that you can make those databases work for you by creating search alerts. You're busy people with full lives, so anything that can save you a bit of time must be a good thing. 

Search alerts are a great way of keeping up to date with new articles in your research area. Once you've got a search that gives you the most relevant results, create a search alert and you'll be notified when new articles that match your search criteria are added to the database. 

The following screencasts show you how it's done in a selection of the databases you have access to through the Library and also through Google Scholar.

Create a search alert - Scopus

Create a search alert - EBSCO databases (eg. PsycInfo, PsycArticles, Academic Search Complete)

Create a search alert - Google Scholar
