RSS + Alerts

Alerts + RSS for EBSCO Databases

In EBSCO databases, you can create alerts or RSS feeds of specific searches from the same menu.

1. Once you run a search, you will see a "Share" menu at the top right of the search results:

2. When you click on "E-mail Alert" or "RSS Feed" under the heading "Create an alert", you will be given options to edit the specifics of your alert or feed:

Note that any limiters you place on the search - for example, those using the "Limit To" tool on the left-hand side of results pages - will carry over into your alert or feed, so make sure you have it configured the way that you want before clicking on "Create an Alert":
