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

[Diane Disbro]

This sounds great! Could it be adapted to pull author information and send notices to hundreds of patrons?

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
