I'm interested in knowing how academic libraries notify faculty members
that the books they have requested have been received and are available for
checkout.
Our library files the original requests submitted for books. When the
materials are received, the requests are pulled, the call number is
recorded on them and the requestsare then returned to the requestors. We're
interested in eliminating the steps required to maintain the files, but we
don't want to lose the personal touch of notifying the requestors
individually.
We spend between $600,000 and $800,000 a year on book orders and would be
particularly interested in hearing for institutions with a similarly sized
book budget. Thanks!
