SDI service

Notices of journal contents at your workplace

Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI) is an alert service that keeps you informed of new journal publications in your field(s) of interest by sending you notices via email when new material is added to the Online Contents database that matches your registered search criteria. This service is only available to UM and azM staff with an ILL account.


SDI subscriptions can be linked to a computer in the libray or another UM or azM workstation via the library homepage.


Making an SDI application

Via this homepage, go to eLibrary >  Select 'Catalogues' > 'PiCarta (NCC + OLC)' > 'Help'. In the table of contents on this help page, click on 'SDI (Selective Dissemination of Information)'.

Here, you can read how to make an SDI application. To do so, you can use the access number and password (pin code) for your IBL account.
