If you would like to receive an email alert when new content is added to the Library News section, for example, then click on the Library News title bar on the front page which will take you to a new page. Next click on the Alert me link on the left hand menu. If you are not already logged into the site you will be prompted to do so. You can now set your email preferences for this list. | |
