LET INFORMATION COME TO
YOU
Enhanced Alert
Functionality
Our alerts service
automatically update you on new content in the areas that
interest you. Delivered daily, weekly or monthly, these are
the ideal way for you to hear about new content and the
opportunities it offers you.
And because you’re in control of the content there won’t be
any spam. You can either choose an alert from over 100
preselected subject areas or create your own alerts using
keywords, case names or legislation that you wish to be
updated on.
You can set up as many alerts on as many different subjects
as you like. You can even choose if you’d like a brief summary
of what’s new or complete documents direct from Westlaw
UK.
In 2009 we added key new functionality to our alerts
service. You can now edit the content of an existing alert
without having to delete it and start again.

Alongside Cases, Journals and Current Awareness content,
you can now also set up alerts related to Legislation.
RSS
Feeds
RSS feeds let you see when content
has been updated. A feed is sent daily so you can see all the
day’s developments in the subject areas you are interested in
on the day they happen, without having to come to Westlaw UK
to view them.

RSS is the ideal way for you to receive updates from
Westlaw UK and enables you to easily publish the latest
content on your intranet site. Alternatively, you can have
live links delivered straight to your RSS compatible browser
or reader.
