Current-awareness service

The purpose of a current-awareness service is to inform the users about new acquisitions in their libraries. Public libraries in particular have used display boards and shelves to draw attention to recent additions, and many libraries produce complete or selective lists for circulation to patrons. Some libraries have adopted a practice of selective dissemination of information (sometimes referred to as SDI), whereby librarians conduct regular searches of databases to find references to new articles or other materials that fit a particular patron's interest profile and forward the results of these searches to the patron.

One development of the concept of SDI in the electronic environment is a computer program that scans computer bulletin boards, electronic mail messages, and similar networked information resources and selects items that meet a user profile. Such programs enable individual users to keep abreast of the large amount of information available through computer networks without having to sift through much material that may be of little interest or relevance to them.
