Read Alert live

Hi all,

Now that the links work externally, I've Blogalogued our SDI Read Alert service, whereby customers can set up profile searches in their membership and receive emails that alert them to matches. This can range from a list of newly ordered Films or Adult Fiction to a profile for new books by Nora Roberts or J D Robb.

For customers without emails, and to promote things a little bit more by way of a practical demonstration, I've also set up a public Read Alert live service on the blog's sidebar that turns emails into an RSS feed. I'll update this with monthly new stock lists for each of several major collections.

There'll be a What's new link from the front page of the Library website.

We already have the Read Alert brochures available that explain how to use this service. Here's the online pdf version too.

Please, have a play, set up your own if you haven't already, and promote it.
