Email Alerts and RSS Feeds – ACM Digital Library
Database alerting services allow you to select information of interest and then be notified regularly, via
email, of new information available. The tables of contents of specific journals, magazines and
newspapers, the output of search queries, and specific article citations can all be pushed to your email
inbox or RSS reader. The services make it easier to stay on top of developments in your field of interest.
ACM Digital Library only offers Table of Contents alerts, but only for some of its publications, and only
via a list of search results.
Users must register with ACM to take advantage of these alerting services:
