Do you want to save time & automatically receive the newest citations in your research area(s)?
If so, save your searches in your favorite databases and/or sign-up for Table of Content alerts in your favorite journals.
Search Alerts (Database):
Follow these general steps to set up a search alert in a database:
1. Navigate to your favourite database through the library website
2. Register for a personal account within that database
3. Perform your search
4. Look for a link on the results page that says something like "Set alert", "Set feed", "Keep me posted", "Create alert", etc (NOTE: this might also be on a "Search History" page).
Most academic journals provide readers with the option to be notified when new issues are available.
To set-up a table of contents alert, navigate to the journal’s homepage and look for an “alert” feature.
In most cases, you will be given the option to receive your alerts via email or through an RSS feed.
Finding quality information is challenging and many students, even at the graduate level, lack basic research skills and familiarity with libraries. And those students with introductory-level skills will not be prepared for the research demand of upper-level courses and subject-specific resources.
As your liaison librarian, I offer a range of instruction sessions for your students and can assist students by: helping them develop well-thought out research questions; ensuring that high-quality sources are being used for research papers and presentations; making sure that students are properly citing the material they use; demonstrating that there is someone to go to for questions; and more! Sample topics covered in a librarian lead or co-lead with you session includes:
