Associated with the Saved Searches feature, is the ability to receive email messages whenever the library catalogs items that match the search criteria in your preferred searches. This feature is available for all saved searches EXCEPT Keyword(s) searches.
Display the list of your preferred searches, then place a
in the "Mark for Email" column next to the searches you want to generate an alert, and click the "Update List" button.
Below are some sample searches that might make useful email alerts:
Title search for "PBI"
Generates a list of new PBI's received by Jenkins.
Call Number search for "KFP"
Generates a list of all newly cataloged books for our Pennsylvania collection.
Subject search for "Audio recordings"
Generates a list of newly cataloged audiocassettes.
Subject search for "leisure reading"
Generates a list of newly cataloged leisure reading materials.
Every Monday morning the system will search the database to find items that have been cataloged during the past week that match your saved criteria.
Provided that you have an email address listed in your circulation record, an email will be sent to you listing any new items that matched your search criteria; e.g. Title or Series = PBI. If you circulation record is missing an email address, please contact our Membership Department at 215.574.7968 to have your record updated. See a sample email alert before you subscribe.
