Setting up Alerts

Alerts are automated email notifications you create to deliver new content as it becomes available in Proquest.

• Search Alerts-notify you when new documents that match your search are available.
• Publication Alerts-notify you when new issues of a selected publication are available.

Instructions on setting up an Alert are provided in this tutorial.

Note:  While it is not necessary to open a My Research account to utilize the Alert feature, not doing so will prevent you from modifying the search after it is created.
