Wiley InterScience offers two types of alerts: saved search alerts that send new citations that match search criteria and table of content alerts that are emailed whenever a new volume or issue is added to the Wiley database.
To create search alerts, you must first create a Profile at the Wiley site. (This profile/login can also be used to access some pay-per-view content that the Virginia Tech Libraries subsidize.) Once you have successfully created a profile and logged in, you can begin creating alerts.
To create a search alert, perform a search from Wiley's homepage. At the top of your search results, use the Save search link. Then on the Saved Searches page, use the Start Alert link.
To create a table of contents alert, search or browse for journals of interest. Once you have located the journal's homepage, use Set E-Mail Alert link to add this journal to your profile. You can also subscribe to an RSS feed for this journal.
Once you are 'alerted' to the existence of a journal issue or article, check Addison to see if the library has a print subscription or the Ejournals database to see if there is online availability. For journal articles not owned locally or available electronically, submit a request through ILLiad.
