Why Set Up an Alert?

Once you have completed a search and/or refined it to find specific information on a topic, you may want to know when new articles on the topic are added to the CINAHL database.

Perhaps you are completing a doctoral dissertation or masters thesis on a specific topic or just would like to read any new information published on a topic.

Setting up email notification or an RSS feed to alert you when a newly published article fits your search criteria will save you from having to complete the same search in the future.
