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