How to set up a daily email alert for the Financial Times (London) in Academic OneFile
Financial Times via Academic OneFile (Gale) :
Financial Times is in several Gale databases. Here is a Screenshot of the landing page for Financial Times via Academic OneFile database--Gale's best general academic index.
You can also set up a journal alert for Financial Times in Academic OneFile. Simply click the link in the Tools side bar, as illustrated below.
In the pop-up box, enter your email and indicate the frequency of the alert (daily, weekly or monthly). Since this is a daily paper, the default choice of Daily makes the most sense. You can also capture the code for an RSS feed for your RSS reader on this page.
Within 24 hours you should receive an email with a link to all the content of the previous edition of Financial Times. The email also includes direct links to 20 selected articles over a range of days in the last month or so. The twenty article links are not (necessarily) from the latest day's paper. (Gale says of this 20 link list: "It should contain the first 5 articles from each issue's category. However, it is not returning them in the proper order and [we] have found that that is a known issue being reviewed. Right now the results are random.") Again, click the link at the top of the email--highlighted in yellow below--to get the full list of all the articles from the latest day available.
In part, here's what the email will look like:
When you click the link at the top of the email to see the list of articles, you will navigate away from your email client to Academic OneFile. There, you will see all the articles from the most recent issue at the top of the results; however, they are in no apparent order within that issue. (This is another known issue that Gale is working on.) One nice thing about the database listing is that each item is marked on the right by type of article (e.g., brief article, article, cover story, etc.). Word count is also provided to help you spot the really long and substantive articles.
Here's an example of the display:
Also, the Gale load sends links to the content prior to when the full-text is available, so if you see certain results from today, the full-text will not be there because of the publisher's "embargo."
Although Gale alerts don't come with a built-in expiration date, each email will have an unsubscribe link at the bottom to allow you to quickly turn off the service.
In our experiments with the alerts, they open fine off-campus.
