HomeCurrent Awareness Service (SDI)
The Current Awareness Service provides patrons with the most current references on topics of interest each time a database is updated. Users may create and save a search strategy on specific topics or by specific authors to be run against the most recent updates. In most cases the results or retrieval from the final set can be automatically sent to a user's e-mail address.
Please contact the Reference Desk at 924-5591, or e-mail hslref@virginia.edu if you need assistance in setting up an SDI search in any of these databases.
In MEDLINE and/or other database searches can be set up to run automatically. They will be executed each time the database is updated. MEDLINE is updated weekly and PreMEDLINE is updated daily.
The database is an aggregate of hundreds of scientific, technical, and medical journals from over 50 publishers and societies. Full-text is available only for those titles subscribed to by UVa.
Covers Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Art & Humanities Citation Index. Automatic running of a search strategy is available for this database if your search is saved on their server. The search can be limited to the last update, latest two weeks, or last four weeks.
