Anchorage Daily News Alerts

Step by Step Instructions 

1. Go to the Consortium Library Webpage.

2. Under find, choose Journal Titles.

3. In the search box next to "title begins with" type in Anchorage Daily News.

4. Choose one of the links that says "to present". ( I recommend the fourth link down because it will let you choose between a text or image format.)

5. Under Access World News, choose Anchorage Daily News Collection.

6. Under the Sources Name choose a link that has "Image" at the format type. ( I like the image option because it shows the paper as you would see it in print.)

7. In the middle of the page with the symbol of a bell next to it, click on Create Alert. 

8. Enter your email address and choose your frequency preference. 

9. A link will be sent to your chosen email at the frequency you selected.
