Much academic research is published in journals. The Library subscribes to print and electronic journals. • Many of the databases subscribed to by the Library index thousands of these journals, and in addition provide an alerting service to let you know the very latest information relevant to your research. • There are for example…
ASSIA database A search for animation in the ASSIA database returns 71 hits. This and others CSA databases have an alert service where the database will email you the latest added information which matches your search
Other databases which provide alert services are:
You can navigate to all of these databases from the Area Index, (left hand column) at the Library Home Page
There is also Construction Information Service Click here for document alert
There are databases which do not index journal articles,but some of them provide an emailing list service to keep the user up to date on new content. For example: There is also Computing Reviews, a secondary reference database of reviews in computing literature
Another way of keeping up to date with developments in your area of interest is to join academic email discussion lists. JISC mail is an important one. To get started look at the Quick User Guide
