Journal Alerts – Project Muse

This is the first of a series of posts that will provide information and tips for setting up journal alerts in the library’s subscription databases. Keeping up with the literature in your field has never been easier, and with these journal alerts you can request that email be sent to you whenever new issues of your selected journals are loaded online.

While the process is a bit different for each database service (EBSCOhost, Project Muse, ACS…), the steps are very similar:

1. Create a personal user account (which is free of charge)
2. Select the journal(s) you’d like to be alerted for
3. Create the alert

We have created short Powerpoint files that walk you through the steps for those database services that offer journal alerts. The advantage of Powerpoint is that we can provide screen shots for each step and show you what you will see.
