| Database Email Alerts |

Alerts can either be table of contents e-mails or saved search strategy e-mailed to you directly depending on the database. While not all OSU-Tulsa Library databases have this function, the ones that do are listed below. For help in setting up alerts, contact Tom Thorisch at 594-8146 or tom.thorisch@okstate.edu
