At EKU, we are transitioning to a system where all new requests are handled through Illiad. So we will ask faculty to submit request for new materials via the ILL request form. We have an acquisitions queue in Illiad for book requests. Staff mediate these requests as purchases, or they forward them to a queue for borrowing. Illiad has built in notification templates that take care of the email notifications to faculty. They can also specify which pickup location they want in the form.

Currently we only notify faculty for rush orders, and our catalogers email the faculty manually to let them know their order is in. Since we order over 10,000 items a year, it is not feasible to have our catalogers send out an email for every item that is processed. Does anyone have a system for automating emails to let faculty know that their books are at the library? If so, is it is something you can do through your ILS or do you have a way to automate it in-house? I would greatly appreciate any advice.
