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

[Jesse McCarty]

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!

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
