[Publib] Library Elf

[Chantal Walvoord]

Ms. Kittay:

Plano Public Library does advertise it from their web site. It comes
under the heading "Library Reminders via email" (see the red, right hand
column http://www.plano.gov/Departments/Libraries/.
 
Library Reminders via Email  

If you wish to receive email alerts for books with upcoming due dates or
for overdue notices, PPLS wants to make you aware of an available
service, Elf. 

Elf  is a "personal email library reminder service". It allows patrons
to create an account, which must include your library card barcode and
your PIN (which is normally the last four digits of your telephone
number).

Once you have an account, you can instruct the site to email reminders
of books with upcoming due dates. The site provides some additional
functions, such as checking your account for hold items, seeing the
status of the book you currently have out, etc. Elf also includes
text-messaging options.

Please note: Elf is a third-party web service. Plano Public Library
cannot provide technical assistance regarding Elf, and makes no
guarantees as to the accuracy of Elf's information or services.
Likewise, we cannot guarantee the security or privacy of information you
submit to Elf.

Does anyone market Library Elf from your webpage.  I am setting up our
new website and I was thinking about adding information about Library
Elf to our webpage but I would like to see how other library websites
advertise it.
Thanks!
