CSA Alert Service

one page handout (PDF)

CSA's Alert feature enables you to create a search in CSA indexes that will run automatically and email you any new records that match your search. UCB subscribes to many CSA indexes including ARTbibliographies Modern, ASFA, Environmental Sciences and Pollution Management, ERIC, GeoRef, Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts, Metadex, MLA International Bibliography, PAIS International, PsychInfo, Sociological Abstracts, and Zoological Record. The Alert will run weekly for six months and notify you before it expires.
