SDI is a component of MyOPAC, and Saved Searches must be enabled to
use SDI. SDI allows you to choose intervals for each saved search query
to be run automatically, and the results e-mailed
to you in the form of a URL. You can set the SDI options for each saved
search query when saving it, or change the options directly on the Saved Searches
screen.
To set Stout Library Catalog to perform a search query at selected intervals:
- After performing a search, go to the Record
Options box on the Search Results screen (or to the record
view of one of the records).
- Click the Save Search Query button (If
you have not already logged in, do so at the Login screen).
- This will take you to the Saved Searches screen, where your
most recent search will appear at the bottom of the list.
- Select the desired interval from the Run Search
Every drop-down box.
- Select Yes or No from the New Hits? drop-down
box. Selecting Yes will cause the Stout Library Catalog to email you with results
for that search query only when the search has yielded new results. Selecting
No will cause the Stout Library Catalog to email the results to you at the specified
interval whether there are new results or not.
- Click the Submit button.
SDI will not work for Course Reserve
searches.
