To save searches, you first must create a personal account. If you’ve already executed a search, click on the “Alert Me” button near the top of the results page. Or before executing a search, click on the blue “Log Into My Research” link in the upper right corner of the search screen. You will then be prompted to login to the Alerts service or create a username/password. Saved searches expire after six months. (CSA will email you a notice before a Saved Search expires.) However, they may be renewed or deleted at any time.
As with most database platforms, CSA Illumina allows you to have newly added citations that conform to one of your saved searches emailed to you each time the MLAIB is updated. This service also requires that you have a personal account (see paragraph above). Create and save a search strategy, then click on “Save as Alert.” Up to 250 citations will be automatically emailed to you as relevant citations are added to the database. (MLAIB is updated approximately nine times each year.) The search strategies in your Alerts may be edited at any time. Alerts also expire after six months, but CSA will email you a notice before an Alert expires, giving you the option to renew or delete it.
