How do you keep up with newly published articles?
Alerts via e-mail or via RSS feeds are an easy way to keep up with recent articles in your fields of interest. After compiling your personal subject profile, you are alerted regularly on new publications about these subjects. What kind of alert service is provided, and how often you receive e-mail alerts, may vary from database to database. Alert services are provided in the following different forms:

• New books in TU/e Library collection
• Alerts from Web of Science
• Alerts from ScienceDirect
• Alerts on cited articles
• Alerts from Picarta
• Alerts from Online Contents OLC
• Alerts from full-text journals from various publishers
• News items on TU/e Library website

Books which have been recently added to the Library collection are included in the Accessions list. The page has the shape of a matrix. Listings may be viewed of new titles for each month at each department library, or at the Central Library or the stackroom. Titles remain listed for 7 months. Accessions from all Library sections together may also be viewed in one single list.
