The Library has provided the ScanDoc service since 1990. A subscriber sends a list of keywords for a research topic plus other search criteria, and their e-mail address. The Library sets up a search profile which afterwards runs automatically every time a new issue of CCWeek is loaded onto the Library system. Citations or search results are then e-mailed to each subscriber automatically. Once the search profile has been set up, the weekly searching and e-mailing of results is initiated automatically by a computer program.
Subscribers can request profile changes at any time.
