[Publib] best sellers clubs- can they be automated?

[Megan Doyle]

Hello all-

 

My library has a Best Sellers Club that is very popular with our
customer. However, the service requires a lot of staff time, since we
manually place requests for each member of the club. I've seen that many
libraries offer a similar service. Has anyone been able to set up their
service to automatically place requests (without a person having to do
so) or do it in some other way that takes less staff time? I've seen
that some libraries simply send an email to customers when a new book
comes in so that the customer must place his/her own request. However,
I'm wondering if customers like doing it this way and if there are any
issues with customers who do not have computers and cannot place
requests themselves.
