This guide explains how to set up common "push technologies" such as Google Alerts, RSS feeds, and alerts in library database.

ProQuest Alerts and RSS Feeds

Create alerts and RSS feeds in a library database

Here is an example of a search alert set up in the library's ABI/INFORM Collection database:

  1. Run a search (we searched "bananas"!).
  2. Click the "Save search/alert" option located above the search results.
  3. Select "Create alert" or "Create RSS feed."
  4. Follow the prompts of the pop-up window to finish creating the alert or RSS feed.
