[Publib] Electronic Newsletters/Email Lists

[Nancy Ashbrook]

I use dearreader.com for 2 custom newsletters at the
Glenview Public Library, IL. I LOVE this vendor as
they offer the option for the customized newsletters
(I think up to 6!), the option to put online your
quarterly library newsletter, the option to "join"
book clubs that give your patrons 4 new titles in
different categories each month, and the option for
your patrons to read excerpts from different titles
delivered to their desktop! Since I started working
here at GPL, there have been a few technical problems
and Amber, Brian, and Bob have all been wonderful in
working them out! I just cannot say enough about this
vendor service and their wonderful "customer" service!
No question is too small. They are also working on
adding more value to their service with RSS feeds.

Hi everyone,

I am interested in starting an email list for our
patrons, to keep them
informed about programming & potentially a quarterly
newsletter, etc...

What software/web programs are you using to manage
patron email lists?

How about for creating a newsletter?

I have found some potential software/web programs
using Tech Soup,
Webjunction, and google searching, but I would like to
hear what other
libraries are using!

Happy New Year!

Mat
