6.1. Software required
6.1.5 Alert service
An additional service that would be useful to readers would be a flexible `alert' service that would e-mail subscribers whenever new review information was released that met their selection criteria. This would have to perform a regular search for each subscriber according to the stored selection criteria on any new or updated pages provided and then email the corresponding subscribers with a notification and location of the page. Some of the on-line indexing services already provide such a service (e.g. uncover [16]), but I have not seen publicly available software that would do this.
