A very pertinent question. However, normally the problem is that to ensure that none are missed the crew are given a slab of paper with all the NOTAMs for the region(s) being flown in. The crew are expected to wade through these and ensure that they have read and understood the effect on their operation of the important ones.
This is slowly changing with the use of electronic flight bags where the tablet computer has all the NOTAMs but can filter out those needed for the particular flight and even display them graphically if necessary. I have often wondered if the beancounters ever cost out all the paper and special impact printers and crew and departure gate time vs the cost of a tablet computer. Not to mention the increase in safety from better presentation of information weather, PIREPs, SIGMETs, NOTAMs and other aeronautical information
