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.

2) Search on a topic of your choice:
3) Near the top of your search results, look for an option to Create an alert:
4) On the next screen, indicate the frequency of your alerts and make any desired edits to the title, subject, email address, etc. Then click the Create alert button.
