Announcing Ulrich's Alerts |
| |
 Ulrich's Alerts is a new, free monthly email notification service from ulrichsweb.com. Now your library's staff and patrons can keep on top of information about serials in their areas of interest. This feature is available to all ulrichsweb.com and Ulrich's Serials Analysis System users. Version 1.0 offers subject-based alerts for newly added titles, title changes, and ceased titles in more than 100 first-level Ulrich's subject classifications.
Click on the new "Ulrich's Alerts" button on the ulrichsweb.com main navigation bar to sign up for this new, free feature. Once you are signed up and receive your first Ulrich's Alert, you will be able to view your current month's alerts and will have access to an archive of previous months' alerts.
Future releases of Ulrich's Alerts will include indication of publisher changes, title-level alerts, weekly updates, and other options.
The Ulrich's Alerts notification service is the direct result of your suggestions and Bowker's commitment to continue to make Ulrich's a dynamic tool for library professionals and library patrons.
