In this paper, two types of information search and notification systems were developed. The first one helps to follow the latest information of papers and reports published by JET (Japan society for Educational Technology). The database was made for this system. Users can retrieve interesting information using keywords, and these keywords can be registered on the system. When new information from papers are inputted to the database, the system searches them automatically using users' registered keywords. If new information is found, it is sent to the corresponding user by E-mail. The second system helps to follow the latest information from newspaper articles on the Internet. Users can also register their interesting keywords on the system. The system retrieves newspaper articles on the Internet periodically, and searches them automatically for users' registered keywords. When a new newspaper article is found, the user is notified by the E-mail. The user notified can read the abstract of each newspaper article on the system, click the interesting one, and jump to the original site on the Internet. By using this system, it is possible for users to choose effectively the content from a large amount of newspaper articles.
