Delivering Current Information to Your Organization - Premium Alert Services
The traditional online venders, Lexis, Westlaw and Factiva all offer email alert services. These services notify users of new information added to the selected database that meets a specific search criteria. Figuring out which one best suits your needs can be difficult as there are sometimes subtle, sometimes significant, differences between them. I've summarized the basic features of these premium alerts in this handout compiled for my presentation at the SCALL Institute. Please do comment if you have any additional insights on any of these services.
