Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Notifying faculty about new books in their discipline

[Jane Sandberg]

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for your interest, and for giving this a try.  I just filled in
some gaps in my documentation on the Github repository, which might
answer a few of your questions.  But please also feel free to reach
out (email is best for right now, but I'm also happy to connect over
the phone later this summer).

Jane,

We would definitely be interested in more details in getting this up and 
running. I downloaded the code and started working though implementation on a 
test server based on what is shown online, but there looks to be more 
configuration information needed that isn't shown at this time (such as 
location of the conf directory, one of the config files has a reference to a 
JSON file in your home folder etc...). How the python files are eventually 
executed, I have a viewable location on the test server, but obviously there is 
much to configure before it populates correctly. 

Thanks!

Hi Evergreeners,

Our Library sends monthly emails to our faculty that feature recently acquired 
books that might be of interest to them.  This is a nice, automated process 
that pulls data from Evergreen and then uses call number ranges that we've 
defined to match books with departments.  The emails include cover images and 
links to place holds, and we're pretty proud of this system.

We've got our code up on GitHub: https://github.com/sandbergja/faculty_notifier

I'm very happy to share more details if you're interested.

   -Jane
