You can do this through Evergreen too, but only if the same email address is used on each account. - if users have library cards in other systems, those notifications will be bundled into the ones for your library. - it gives users control over what notification method is used and when they receive those notifications. Some users may not want courtesy notices, but may want to receive hold notices. Some may only want to receive courtesy notices via text. I don't think there is anything special you need to do to get it talking to your Evergreen system. In fact, Library Elf may already been talking to your system for users who subscribe through a personal subscription. Kathy On 02/06/2015 01:22 PM, Elisabeth Keppler wrote: Thanks, Ruth. That sounds like something for me to discuss with our consortium. I wish all our patrons used email!
