NOTE: Any alerts that you have previously set up in the classic EBSCOhost will not be migrated to your dashboard in the new EBSCO user interfaces. To ensure your alerts are running after your institution has migrated, they will need to be re-created in the new EBSCOhost.
You can set up your account in any EBSCO database, and that account is then good in all EBSCO databases; however, you'll have to sign into each database to create an alert in that particular database.
To establish your account, first click on “MyEBSCO” (located in the top right-hand corner of the EBSCOhost home/search page), then on “Sign in to MyEBSCO." It will ask you to sign in using your Stetson credentials.
For all EBSCO databases, after you’ve signed in to your account in the database you want the search to be repeated in, execute the search you want to repeat. Then click on "Create alert."
**You can also "Save search," but your most recent search history is already saved and accessible via the left-hand column under "Recent activity."
Fill in the necessary information. EBSCOhost will ask how often you'd like to receive alerts for your search parameters; daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also provide an alternate email address where you'd like notifications sent.
Your saved search alerts (and journal alerts, which EBSCOhost also provides a service for) can be viewed, edited, or deleted by clicking "Alerts" in the left-hand column.
