Alerts

ProQuest lets you create alerts to notify you of new information:

• You can create an alert for a search you've just run, and receive an email notification of new search results.
• You can create an alert for a recent search, and receive an email notification of new search results.

Search Alert

Once you have set up a search alert, you will receive an email that will include a results list similar in layout to the standard ProQuest search results page, including links to the pertinent information. This email can include up to 50 results. At the bottom of the page, you will see a view all search results link.
