COVID-19 NEWS: Patron Point Is 'Helping Libraries Configure Notices as They Re-open Their Locations'
Patron Point announced that libraries using Patron Point Notices are getting some new features to help them reopen their branches. Right now, these are available for Sierra ILS users, but Patron Point is working on developing these updates for Polaris and Horizon/Symphony as well as other systems.An example update is the following: “We can suppress notices for specific pickup locations if they are not yet open, but items have been checked in. Useful for a rolling opening of branches. The notices will be sent when the branch opens and you remove the branch from the filter list.” Libraries have full control of the contents of the notice email: “We only reserve one portion of the email for the table of items to pick up. That includes the title, pickup location (optional), and the pick-up by date (optional.). But you can add curbside pickup scheduling links or cross promotions anywhere in the email.” For more information, read the news item.
