Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Notifying faculty about new books in their discipline
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 On Fri, Jun 16, 2017 at 11:08 AM, Jesse McCarty <jes...@burlingtonwa.gov> wrote: > Jane, > > We would definitely be interested in more details in getting this up and > running.

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

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Notifying faculty about new books in their discipline
It could, theoretically. Its flaw right now, though, is that the process of adding/removing email recipients is pretty manual and tedious. Perhaps somebody else who is familiar with Python could take my code as a starting place, and build an interface that made it simple to manage hundreds of patrons efficiently.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Notifying faculty about new books in their discipline
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 -- Jane Sandberg Electronic Resources Librarian Linn-Benton Community College sand...@linnbenton.edu / 541-917-4655 Pronouns: she/her/hers or they/them/theirs
