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

[Jane Sandberg]

It could, theoretically.  Its flaw right now, though, is that the
process of adding/removing email recipients is pretty manual and
tedious.  Perhaps somebody else who is familiar with Python could take
my code as a starting place, and build an interface that made it
simple to manage hundreds of patrons efficiently.

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.
