Please Note: Froedtert Health has implemented a new security protocol which has resulted in the degradation of on-campus access to MCW Libraries' electronic resources. Users on the Froedtert network must sign in via OpenAthens when attempting to access electronic library resources (including UpToDate, VisualDx, etc.). MCW Libraries is aware of this change and is working to provide a permanent access solution. If you have MCW credentials, please sign in via MCW employees and students when prompted. If you are a Froedtert employee, click here to register for an OpenAthens account or view more information.
Most medical databases have to option to set up new article alerts for topics of interest that you want to follow. See below for directions.
In order to create an alert for new articles in PubMed, you need to first register for a free account.
**MCW users can also click the More Sign in Options link and select Medical College of Wisconsin to login with MCW username and pasword.
After you have done a search for your topic and logged into your account, click the Create Alert link at the top below the search box.
You can then set up your alert: Create a name for your alert; the default is your search terms.
By default the alert will be sent to the email you used to create your PubMed account. You have the option to enter a different email address if you'd like. You can also select the frequency of updates and number of new articles you would like to receive.
When you are done click save, and you will get updates when new articles are published on your topic.
