Text Message Notices for Pickup/Hold/Overdue Notices and other patron messages from the system. http://www.velti.com Donna Spychala Toledo Lucas County Public Library Donna.spychala@toledolibrary.org Text Message Notices
Request It like normal, and you get a text message instead of an email. Text Message Notices
Patrons have to modify their email address so that an email goes to vendor and Velti changes it over text and sends message! Text Message Notices
Toledo Lucas County Public Library had about 800 patrons sign up in the last year. However, the vendor is discontinuing service at the end of the month. Text Message Notices
Innovative Product: 305SMS SMS Text Messaging Innovative product, will enable libraries to supplement regular notice production with new SMS Hold Pickup Notices. In addition, this new product will be hosted by Innovative at one of its secure hosting facilities. This means that libraries do not need to have individual accounts with SMS message providers and can be implemented without using precious staff resources. SMS Test Messages are unlimited in number, ensuring that the Library never runs out of messages. SMS hold pickup notices will be sent frequently during the day so they will be delivered in a timely fashion, at times within the hour of an item’s availability. This supplemental service does not replace regular production of hold pickup notices; these notices are still sent in the prescribed manner to patrons. Hold pickup notices will likely be followed by courtesy notices. Hold pickup notices are delivered as SMS messages to patrons’ mobile phones and text message devices. Staff can customize the text of each notice type. A new field in patron records identifies the mobile phone number to receive the message. Patrons and staff can specify SMS notice as the preference for receiving hold pickup notices. Contact Your Customer Sales Consultant for more information. SMS Text Messaging Product
