Favorite Author Reserves
Submitted by elisabeth.white on Tue, 07/12/2016 - 09:23
Type of Pilot Project:
Public Service
Describe Project and Impact:
Library members can be automatically placed on the holds list for any authors they designate as "favorites".
Project Description and Expected Outcomes:
Library members could log into their account on the online catalog and choose their favorite authors from a list of popular authors. Then, anytime the library received new books from those authors the library member would be automatically placed in the holds queue for them.
Why should we select this project?:
This would be a great service for avid readers to basically anticipate what they'll want and would probably result in increased retention and circulation for that segment of library users.
Constraints, Limitations, or Dependencies:
Limited to the capabilities of TLC/Carl-X
Source of Inspiration:
