Several of the library's research databases are provided by a vendor called ProQuest. ProQuest databases do not require setting up an account in order to start an alert; HOWEVER, in order to modify and cancel alerts, you will need to set up a My Research account (see screen shot below for instructions).
Here is a list of the databases provided by ProQuest:

Journal Alerts--
There are two ways to set up a journal alert in ProQuest databases:
1. Click on Publications (see screen shots below). Find the publication for which you want to set up the alert. Double click on the title of the journal for which you want to set up the alert. A screen will open that will allow you to set up an email alert or an RSS feed.
OR
2. After the results of a search have come up, click on the link to the Citation/Abstract of any article in the journal for which you want to set up the email or RSS feed (see screen shots below). Then click on the journal title. If that journal allows alerts or feeds to be set up (not all journals offer alerts or feeds), you should see links to setting up email alerts or RSS feeds.
