Remote Access to Library Resources

Creating personal accounts for library resources allows you to:

• receive email notifications for new issues of a specific journal (Table of Contents Alerts).
• receive email notifications for articles published that meet a specific search criteria in a database.
• receive alerts when your articles are cited.
• save searches that you can update and run again.
• save articles, book chapters, and other content for easy future reference.

It is often helpful to receive alerts from specific journals when they publish new articles. There are a few easy ways to do this.
