Q. What is a search alert?

An alert is a way for you to save a search and get email notification of any new records that have been found in the database that match your search criteria as new records are added. It's a great way to stay current without having to redo previous work! This works for EBSCO databases like Academic Search Premier and ERIC.

When you are in the database, set up a new account:

Perform a search on the topic of your choice:

search results page with arrow pointing to alert link

Choose Alert/Save/Share and you can now choose how you would like to be notified:

alerts page with options shown

Make sure you use your Bethel e-mail account and save your alert:

You can also choose an RSS feed and have it sent to the reader of your choice.
