Using a free service called Blogtrottr to get emails
The easiest way to get email notification when a new title comes in that matches a search is to use Blogtrottr.com. For example, you can do an author search for Joyce Carol Oates to see when the library's added her latest, or you can search for a topic that interests you, like xeriscaping.
To set up email alerts using Blogtrottr, start by doing a search in the catalog. Then click on the RSS icon at the top right of the search results.
A new screen will open that should look similar to this. Copy the URL (website address) from the top of the page.
Open a new browser window or tab. In the new tab, go to blogtrottr.com.
On this screen, paste the URL you copied into the box labeled Feed URL. Then enter your email address, leave Schedule as is, and click Feed Me. Blogtrottr will send you an email when the Library adds a title that matches your search.
