EbscoHost--Many of the library's databases are provided by a company called EbscoHost. The box directly below this box lists all the EbscoHost databases that allow journal alerts.
To create an alert in any EbscoHost database, you need to set up a personal account in EbscoHost. You need to set up your account in only one Ebsco database; that account is then good in any Ebsco database, but you have to sign into each database to create an alert in that database.
Follow the instructions in the boxes below to set up a journal alert or delete an alert in any EbscoHost database

Journal Alerts---
For most individual Ebsco databases, click on Publications (see screen shots below). Find the publication for which you want to set up the alert.
After you've found the journal for which you want to set up the alert, click on the journal title
A screen will open that will allow you to set up an email alert. After you've made your choices, click on Save Alert.
However, for OneSearch launched from the library’s home page, and for any other EbscoHost database, there is another method that can be used to set up a journal alert.
After the results of a search have come up, click on an article title 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.
Next click on Alert/Save/Share (upper right-hand corner). Then choose to receive your alert via email or via RSS feed.
All the EbscoHost databases will follow one or both of the procedures outlined above to set up a journal alert.
A few tips for specific EbscoHost databases that follow a bit different procedure in addition to one of the two procedures outlined above:
v For ERIC, there is no “publications” tab at the top of the screen. Instead, click on Indexes, then choose journal title, then click on BROWSE or type in the name of the journal you want. Check the box next to the title you want, then click ADD, then Search. Once the result list comes up, click on Alert/Save/Share, click on email alert or RSS feed, and fill in the necessary information.
v For MLA it is the MLA Directory of Periodicals at the top of the screen. Check the box next to the journal for which you want to set up the alert. Then click on Search. Then click on Alert/Save/Share, then on email alert or RSS feed, and fill in the necessary information.
v For PsycINFO, there also is no “publications” tab at the top of the screen. Instead, click on Indexes, then choose publication name to browse, then click on BROWSE or type in the name of the journal you want. Check the box next to the title you want, then click ADD, then Search. Once the title comes up, click on Alert/Save/Share, click on email alert or RSS feed, and fill in the necessary information.
v Teacher Reference Center is another database that works a bit differently. There is no “publications” tab at the top of the screen. Instead, click on Indexes, then choose Journal Name to browse, then click on BROWSE or type in the name of the journal you want. Check the box next to the title you want, then click ADD, then Search. Once the title comes up, click on Alert/Save/Share, click on email alert or RSS feed, and fill in the necessary information.
