The Michael Schwartz Library has purchased a saved search alerts service from the Ingenta company. This service allows you to save keyword and/or author searches done in the Ingenta database. These saved searches will then be run against new citations in the Ingenta database on a weekly basis. The list of citations will be emailed to you. There is no limit on the number of saved search alerts that may be established.
