FAQ: How do I create search alerts in EBSCO?

EBSCO databases and the Multi-Search allow you to set up search alerts that will regularly email you with any new results.

Create an Alert

To set up search alerts in EBSCO:

1. Run a search and view your search results.
2. On the right side of your search results page, above your first result, click on the icon with three dots, and then click "Create alert."
   
3. Make any adjustments to the alert name, frequency, alert notifications, and email address, and click "Create Alert."
   

You can retrieve your alerts from the "My Dashboard" section on the right side of your search results page. Click on the "Saved" option, and then go to the "Searches" tab. The alerts will have a little bell icon and the word "Alert" to distinguish them from the saved searches.

Remove an Alert

To remove an alert, click the blue flag on the right side of the alert record. This will bring up a warning that you cannot undo this action. Click "Yes, remove search" to remove your alert.
