Make Information Choices

You can become your own information switchboard. Turn off your information receptors for several hours each day. Do not let new information invade your being if it doesn't promise immediate benefits to you, your family, your community, or any area of your life -- especially if
it comes after hours.

Choose to acquire knowledge that supports or interests you, not that you happen to ingest, or think you have to ingest.

Science New Alerts

DOE and other federal science agencies help public stay "alert" to the latest R&D results with Science.gov Alert Service. The latest research results from the U.S. Department of Energy and 11 other Federal science agencies can be delivered to desktops through the new patron-customized Science.gov Alert Service.

Science.gov, the public's “go to” Web portal for federal science information, provides a free and convenient science Alert Service that will send alerts to patrons' desktops on their specified topics of interest. From the Science.gov home page, patrons can set up an account, and then let Science.gov do their searching for them.

Each Monday, up to 25 relevant results from selected science sources will be sent to the patron's email. The results are displayed in the email alert, as well as in each patron's personalized Alert Archive, which stores six weeks of alerts results. From this archive, past results can be reviewed and the Alert Profile can be edited.
