Free Email and Mobile alert Service form Open Source NewGenLib software
by Mohan T A 13 Mar '12

13 Mar '12

Dear Library Professionals, Recently we introduced mobile and email alerts in our library. When ever a user is issued a book or returns a book or renews or reserves or in fact does any sort of Circulation transaction an Email and Mobile alert is sent to them. This immediately became a "Talk of the town" in the campus. The users are very happy with this new service for 2 reasons. Firstly they have a record of their transaction and secondly they know what is happening with their library account. The enabling of Email and Mobile alerts only took 5 minutes to configure and it costed zero rupees. Since the library does not have an email account registered with our organization's domain we created an email account in Gmail. Since NewGenLib supports sending emails through Gmail account (apart from SMTP) enabling this feature was a cake walk. Secondly the mobile alerts service is also provided by NewGenLib Free of Cost. Hence this was also configured in 2 minutes. Prior to NewGenLib 3.0.3 Update 4 we were not able to send SMS to mobile phone that are registered at DND (Do not disturb service). But from version 3.0.4 U4, NewGenLib guys got permissions to send transactional SMS to any mobile with regards T A Mohan Librarian Siddaganga Institute of Technology TUMKUR E-mail: mohan(a)sit.ac.in tamohanta(a)rediffmail.com Phone: 0816 2214078 Mobile:9343525141 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
