Tim Jewell, Electronic Information Program
This spring the UW Libraries purchased a site license for Uncover Reveal, an e-mail service designed to help researchers keep up on the latest articles published in more than 16,000 journals and other periodicals published in a wide variety of fields. The service is free of charge to anyone with an e-mail address ending in ".washington.edu".
Under the program, you may identify as many as 50 journals for automatic monitoring. Whenever the table of contents for one of them is added to the Uncover database, a message listing the contents is automatically sent to your e-mail account. You can also create up to 25 keyword search strategies to be matched weekly against the Uncover database.
To use Reveal, connect to Uncover--either through UWIN (choose "CARL'S Uncover Service" under the LIBRARIES category) or via telnet to database.carl.org. Then set up your individual profile, which requires 24 hours to activate. Once your profile is active, you can add or delete journal titles and keyword search strategies whenever you use Uncover.
For more information, pick up a guide for using Uncover Reveal from any campus library, send an e-mail message to tjewell@u.washington.edu, or visit the Libraries' World Wide Web home page.
