Database Services: More Information About Alerts

Two new web pages will help you and your library users find useful information about Alerts/Updates and the presence of UC-eLinks and other services in databases.

The first page, “Creating Updates/Alerts in Vendor, Commercial, Society, eJournal Publisher and University Press Databases,” can be found at http://www.cdlib.org/inside/instruct/alerts.html.  The information on this chart was provided by the Resource Liaisons, and tells how to set up email alerts in many CDL-licensed databases and ejournal resources. It also points to the very useful UC San Diego Science & Engineering Library Alerting web page.

The second is an updated page describing which CDL licensed resources offer UC-eLinks and other services from which vendors. The “Services Available for Journal Article Databases” page can be found at: http://www.cdlib.org/inside/projects/a-i-trans/database_services.html
