You may find this to be a viable option.

Subject: [ACQNET-L] Automating book pick-up emails to faculty

 

Hello,

 

We recently heard from the faculty at our institution that they would like
to be notified when every book they order for the library is available for
checkout.  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.

 

Sincerely,

 

Lindsay Barnett
