  • Search Alerts - Allows you to save any specific searches you create (e.g. lipids and mussels). When new content matching that search criteria is added to the database, you will recieve an email notification.
  • Volume/Issue Alerts - Allows you to select your favorite research journals. When a new issue is available (in many cases this happens prepublication), you will be sent the table of contents via email.
  • Citation Alerts - For any article in the database that you select, you will be notified by email when it is cited by any other article added to the database.
• List of journal titles for which alerting is available via Science Direct.
• Note: The library provides access to the full text of all journals in Science Direct. Most are available immediately online, but some are sent to us from Elsevier via email. Use Journal Finder to determine the best method of accessing a journal.
