Autoalerts are brief information updates automatically generated by a database, search engine, journal publisher's website or blog. The alerts are sent to you as either an e-mail or an RSS feed. This is an easy-to-use technique for staying up to date with news and research literature for a specific discipline or topic. This workshop will demonstrate several methods for setting up autoalerts for your work. The class will be taught utilizing science and health science information resources for demonstration purposes. | ||
