New Science.gov Service Delivers Science Information to Desktops

Alliance helps public stay “alert” to the latest science discoveries from 12 federal
science agencies, introduces Science.gov Alert Service

Science.gov, the “go to” Web portal for federal science information, now provides a free and convenient “Alert” service that delivers information about the most current science developments right to desktops each Monday.

Launched at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (Feb. 17-21, 2005) in Washington, D.C., the Science.gov Alert Service provides weekly emails to those interested in science across the nation.

From the Science.gov homepage (www.science.gov), individuals can set up an account and let Science.gov do the searching for them. Each week, up to 25 relevant results from selected information sources will be sent to the subscriber's email account. Results are displayed in the Alert email and in a personalized Alert Archive, which stores six weeks of alerts results. In the Archive, past activity can be reviewed and Alert profiles edited.
