Use Google Alerts to keep up to date

Google Alerts monitors the web and sends you an email notification when Google finds new results on a topic that interests you.

• Think of it as a selection of interesting content (that you define) from familiar and far-flung places on the web.
• You can choose how often (as-it-happens, daily or weekly) you want to receive an email. There are also several other customisation options such as region, language and sources.
• It is easy to sharing content from a Google Alert on other platforms.

How I Use It

I have Google Alerts for:

• digital literacy
• my name (several spelling variations)
• my business and
• libraries zealand

There are plenty of tools available for keeping up-to-date through email digests, which ones do you use?
