Westlaw AU Tip - How to create a Search Alert

A search based alert notifies you when new documents are added  to Westlaw AU which meet your search criteria.  This can save you time and allows information to be pushed out to you via an email.

Example: We want to be notified when new cases and current awareness articles are added to Westlaw AU on the topic of  anti bullying.

Step 1: Enter "anti bullying" into the Basic search box on the Westlaw AU homepage.

Step 2: Place a tick in the Cases and Current Awareness check boxes, then click Search.
