An alert is a service that emails subscribers updates to a database. Alerts are an efficient way to find out about new research, articles, or publications in your field or area of interest.
What you can do with a database alert:
- Track a favorite periodical
- Receive updated industry news
- Track a company or executive
- Receive targeted alerts for the duration of your field study project or class
Access Restrictions:
Most databases are covered by licenses limiting access to academic use by current UCLA students, faculty and staff, with some limited to UCLA Anderson use only.
