Set an alert for a saved search to receive an email notification when new resources are added to the Library collection. This can help you stay up to date with new literature. 

You will be notified of new resources that meet the criteria of the search. Applying search techniques can ensure you receive a manageable number of search results in your alerts and that the results are relevant to your discipline area.
